Momentum investing wins by being late-but-right: ride the market's strongest performers while the trend is intact, rotate as leadership changes, and never pretend you know the turning point in advance.
Rank Relative Strength, Not Absolute Fame
Momentum is comparative: reward the assets beating their peers over the trailing window (3–12 months), filter out any below the trend line, then buy the survivors. The TradingView screener does the ranking in columns (the screener guide) — the strategy is a sort, not a prayer.
Repair Rotation From the Output, Not the News
Sector rotation is momentum in costume: money rotates from leadership to leadership as tracks change. The signal isn't the headline; it's the relative-strength table changing rows. When a sector's rank drops below its trend filter, rotate — mechanically, without the story. This matters in Pakistan's feeds where the beginning tools guide names the rally watchers.
Let the Trend Filter Maintain the Discipline
Momentum systems die by one rule being relaxed. Keep the trend filter binary (above or below the moving average, say), size by the same rules as any other plan (risk guide), and journal every override. Win the discipline, and late-but-right beats clever-early every cycle.

Final Thoughts
Momentum is a sorting system, not a crystal ball: rank relative strength, rotate when leadership changes, and keep the trend filter mechanical. Late-but-right, kept honest, wins the compounding.
