 The Rate of Change (ROC) indicator is frequently used to measure relative strength, but other momentum indicators can be used too. For example, some chartists prefer to use the Relative Strength Index (RSI), looking for stocks with an RSI value higher than the benchmark. You can also use the PctChange() function or simple multiplication to calculate momentum. The Rate of Change (ROC) indicator is frequently used to measure relative strength, but other momentum indicators can be used too.

 In this example, we're going to compare the ROC values for three different timeframes (5-day, 10-day and 20-day) against the benchmark. In this example, we're going to compare the ROC values for three different timeframes (5-day, 10-day and 20-day) against the benchmark.

 The chart above shows the S&P 500 with three different rates of change: 5-day, 10-day and 20-day. The benchmark $SPX is up 2.46% over the last 5 days, 2.83% over the last 10 days and 0.43% over the last 20 days. Stocks with a higher Rate of Change over the corresponding periods show relative strength. Those with a lower Rate of Change show relative weakness. The chart above shows the S&P 500 with three different rates of change: 5-day, 10-day and 20-day.
