Momentum Scan

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
Scan US large-cap equities for smooth uptrends — high trailing return paired with shallow drawdown — and track which names persist across runs. Use when the user wants to find what's working in the market, scan for momentum, discover the next NVDA / LITE / MU-style breakout before headlines, spot leading sectors or themes (AI infra, semis, defense, lithium, etc.), surface persistent winners across runs, or compare current leaders to a prior run. Also covers re-runs and parameter tweaks ("run it again", "anything new showing up", "3 month window", "include small caps"). Do NOT use for single-ticker price or fundamentals lookups, ETF holdings, chart generation, value-investing screens, or generic explanations of momentum investing — those need other tools or plain answers.

From the source SKILL.md

Find US equities in smooth uptrends — high trailing return with shallow drawdown — and surface which names are durable leaders vs single-week pops. The value over a one-shot screener is persistence tracking: each US market day (America/New_York) is logged once to state/history.csv (re-running the same day refreshes that day's snapshot rather than appending), so each subsequent run can compute streak, rank changes, dropouts, and new entrants.
