Rules to inspect
Every template is meant to be readable. The rules should make sense before the backtest result gets any attention.
- 1
Rank eligible stocks by recent price momentum.
- 2
Select a limited number of top-ranked names to avoid over-diversifying the signal.
- 3
Rebalance on a fixed schedule so the strategy follows rules, not emotion.

Caveats before using this template
Momentum strategies can reverse quickly when market leadership changes.
Transaction costs and slippage matter more for active strategies.
Use the template, then make the evidence earn your trust.
A serious process means cloning the rules, checking the assumptions, running the backtest, and practicing before real capital.
