      Relative strength is a technique used in momentum investing and identifying value stocks. It consists of investing in securities that have performed well, relative to their market or benchmark. Relative strength is a type of momentum investing used by technical analysts and value investors.

      Relative strength helps to predict that the trends currently displayed by the market will continue for long enough that they can realize a positive return.

      What Is Relative Strength(RS)?

      Relative strength is a measure of the price trend of a stock compared to its benchmark index or sectoral index.

      Relative strength Scans show the companies which have outperformed/underperformed Benchmark Index like Nifty or Sensex and Sector Index like Realty, Banking, Auto etc in a period of 55 trading days. A stock’s relative strength trend adds an additional dimension of relative price behaviour to the investment decision.

      Relative strength is one of the most useful indicators in the market, highlighting when stocks are outperforming or underperforming a benchmark index or sector over a period of 55 trading days.

      Relative Strength is calculated by dividing the percentage price change of a stock over a period of 55 trading day by the percentage change of a market index or sector over the same period.

      It can also be used to compare two companies in the same industry or Index. This comparison examines the relative strength performance of two stocks over their benchmark or sector and can help you decide whether you should hold one versus the other.

      Using Relative Strength in StockEdge App:

      Above we have discussed the Relative Strength, now let us discuss how we can use this technical indicator to filter out stocks for trading:

      In StockEdge there are many Relative Strength scans available for filtering out stocks for trading:

      relative strength

      Let us discuss in details about some of these scans:

      Strongly Outperforming Benchmark Index :

      It is a bullish indicator which shows a list of stocks that are strongly outperforming the Benchmark index i.e increase in stock price is more than the increase in the price of the Benchmark Index. Stocks with Relative strength more than 0.3 are shown here.

      Following is a list of stocks which has fulfilled this criterion on 11th November 2020:

      Similarly, in the scan – ‘Strongly Underperforming Benchmark Index’ , the user get a list of stocks that are strongly underperforming the Benchmark index i.e increase in stock price is less than the increase in the price of the Benchmark Index.

      See also: Average True Range (ATR)

      Increasing Relative Strength- Benchmark index: 

      Stocks whose Relative Strength is increasing for the last three days. This scan will contain a list of stocks whose RS (Benchmark Index) is above 0 and increasing for the last three days (RS1>RS2>RS3>0)

      Following is a list of stocks which has fulfilled this criterion on 11th November 2020:

      Similarly in the scan – Decreasing Relative Strength – Benchmark index, the user will get a list of stocks whose Relative Strength is decreasing for the last three days where current day’s RS being below zero and decreasing for the last three days(RS1<RS2<RS3).

      See also: Learn about the Relative Strength Index (RSI)

      Strongly Under-Performing Sectoral Index:

      Stocks which are strongly underperforming the Sectoral index i.e stock price has not increased compared to price of Sectoral Index. Stocks with Relative strength less than -0.3 are shown here

      Following is a list of stocks which has fulfilled this criterion on 11th November,2020:

      Decreasing Relative Strength- Sectoral Index:

      Stocks whose Relative Strength is decreasing for the last three days. This scan will contain a list of stocks whose RS (Sectoral Index) is below 0 and decreasing for the last three days (RS1<RS2<RS3<0)

      Following is a list of stocks which has fulfilled this criterion on 11th November 2020:

      Above are examples of Relative Strength scans that tell you if the stock is bearish or bullish and also give us a list of the stock which fulfills the criteria of the particular day.

        I am a swing trader and had been using Stock Edge and RS screener for some time and it’s showing very good results.

        It would be good if we also have Sectoral RS, I mean, for the sectors mentioned in Stock Edge Eg. Abrasive, Tyre, etc, comparison to Nifty 50. I am sure that would give us further Edge in Stock selection.

        Stock Edge is doing fantastic Job. Keep it up.
