A Relative Strength Scanner for Market Leaders

The names leading the market — ranked by strength, not yesterday's gap.

Relative strength measures how a stock is performing against the broad market, and many traders use it to narrow the field. StockSetups ranks relative strength across the whole market, then shows you which leaders are setting up technically.

Leadership is paired with pattern and volume context, so you find leaders that are also offering a clean entry — not just names that are already extended.

Strength vs the market

Relative strength is measured against the index, surfacing genuine outperformers rather than whatever moved today.

Leaders that are setting up

Strong names are cross-referenced with the pattern lanes, so you find leadership that's also at a tradeable level.

Trend + moving-average context

Trend structure and moving averages confirm the leader is in an uptrend, not a dead-cat bounce.

Group and rotation context

Industry-group rotation context helps you see whether a leader's whole sector is being bid.

Frequently asked

What is a relative strength scanner?

It ranks stocks by how they're performing relative to the broad market, surfacing the leaders. StockSetups ranks relative strength across ~12,300 names and pairs it with pattern and volume context so you find leaders offering a clean entry.

Is relative strength the same as RSI?

No. RSI (the Relative Strength Index) is a momentum oscillator on a single stock's own price. Relative strength here means performance versus the market — a leadership measure. The scanner uses both.

Why trade relative strength?

It is a quick way to narrow the market to names already moving, not an edge by itself: in our own tracking, the highest-RS names did not beat the rest of the board, so our 0–100 score leaves it out. Treat it as context and pair it with a plan.
