SM Stock Market Method

A stacking signal

Momentum

Confirm that strength is on your side — momentum tells you whether buyers or sellers are actually in control at the level.

Momentum is the signal that confirms participation. Using relative strength, volume behaviour, and momentum oscillators, you check whether the move into and away from your level has conviction. Momentum keeps you from buying a level that is quietly failing and from shorting one that is being aggressively defended. It is confirmation, never a standalone trigger.

Momentum — FAQ

Which momentum tools does the method use?

Relative strength versus the broader market, volume expansion on the move you want to join, and a momentum oscillator (such as RSI or MACD) read for agreement with structure — not for crossovers in isolation.

Can momentum alone justify a trade?

No. Momentum is one of four signals. Without aligned structure, a key level, and a defined trigger, strong momentum is just noise you are tempted to chase.
