From momentum to conviction
Valmentum combines relative strength, price-action patterns, and fundamental research to help you move from a promising setup to a better-informed investment thesis.
Relative Strength (RS) or Relative Price Strength (RPS) is our momentum-grade lens for identifying true market leaders. It was William J. O’Neil who turned relative strength into a practical investment system, popularizing a 1–99 Relative Strength Rating that ranks each stock against all others over a trailing period. RPS research showed that the biggest winners typically carried very high scores before their major advances — which is why institutional and growth-oriented investors treat high relative strength as a primary filter, not a secondary statistic. RPS is NOT RSI. RSI is a 0–100 oscillator based on a stock’s own recent gains vs losses; RPS ranks a stock against the market.
Our RPS suite—RPS20, RPS50, RPS120 and RPS250—extends this logic across short, medium and long horizons. Each reading is a percentile rank: an RPS of 90 means the stock beat 90% of its peers over that window.

Finding stocks with strong momentum can be complicated. Finding stocks with sound fundamentals that rhyme with the momentum is the real challenge. So we created the screener to let you identify stocks that meet different momentum criteria and are near a breakout in the coming days, or weeks. Then we gather the fundamental data and facts in a single-page report, letting you analyze when value meets momentum and find your Valmentum™ stocks.

Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) is our setup-quality lens for catching stocks right before they break out. It was Mark Minervini who formalized and popularized VCP as a repeatable breakout framework. In a VCP, an advancing stock pulls back two or more times; each subsequent correction is shallower than the last (for example −20%, then −12%, then −6%), the daily high-to-low range compresses, and trading volume dries up. This sequence shows that sellers are exhausting themselves while demand quietly absorbs supply—so risk gets smaller and reward expands once price clears the pivot on renewed volume.
Our VCP suite—VCP Forming, VCP-Health Check, VCP-Break out analysis—extends this logic across formation size and time frame. Each reading grades how cleanly a stock contracted: a high score means shallower pullbacks, narrowing ranges, fading volume and a breakout from the tightest area, i.e., the same coil-and-release behavior seen in many of the market's winners.
