Relative Strength & Market Leaders

Find the strongest stocks in the strongest groups.

1. What Relative Strength Means — Relative strength compares a stock with the market instead of looking at its price alone. Here is why that comparison helps you find leaders.
2. The RS Line — How the RS line is built, why a rising line matters more than the price itself, and why an RS line hitting a new high before price is one of the strongest signals on a chart.
3. RS Ratings & Rankings — How percentile rankings turn relative strength into a single number from 1 to 99, what real rankings looked like in September 2026, and how to use rankings without being fooled by them.
4. Leaders in Leading Groups — Why the strongest stocks usually come from the strongest industries, how to spot the leading groups, and what the 2026 technology run looked like.
5. Leaders vs. Laggards: What the Evidence Says — What decades of research say about buying recent winners instead of recent losers, why it tends to work, and a real six-month test from our data that shows it does not work every time.
6. When Leaders Break Down — The warning signs that a market leader is losing its leadership, with a real example of a 2026 leader that fell by about half.
