Why Combine Value and Momentum?

A value-only approach can leave you holding stagnant stocks for months, while a momentum-only approach often leads to buying overvalued names at the top. The value momentum screener NSE solves this by filtering for stocks that are both fundamentally cheap and technically strong. This combination has been shown to outperform pure value or pure momentum strategies in backtests. For a deeper dive into momentum, check our momentum screening guide.

When a stock is undervalued but already trending, it often indicates that institutional money is flowing in before the broader market catches on. This gives you an early entry with a margin of safety. The key is to use strict thresholds to avoid value traps and false breakouts.

๐Ÿ“Œ Key Insight
The sweet spot is a stock with PE below 20, PB below 3, RSI between 55 and 65, and ADX above 25 โ€” this combination often precedes a sustained rally.

How to Use the Value Momentum Screener

1
Start with a Value Screen โ€” Use the Fundamental Value Picks screener to filter stocks with PE < 20, PB < 3, and positive earnings growth.
2
Add Momentum Filters โ€” Apply momentum indicators: RSI (14) between 55 and 65, and 50-day EMA above 200-day EMA.
3
Confirm Trend Strength โ€” Check ADX (14) above 25 to ensure the trend is strong, not just a brief bounce.
4
Check Volume Confirmation โ€” Use the OBV divergence screener to confirm that volume is supporting the price move.
5
Set Entry and Exit Rules โ€” Enter on a pullback to the 20-day EMA, and exit if price closes below the 50-day EMA or if RSI drops below 50.
๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip
Always check the quarterly earnings trend โ€” a value momentum stock with accelerating earnings growth is a much stronger candidate than one with declining fundamentals.

โš ๏ธ Common Mistake
A common mistake is to ignore the quality of earnings. A low PE can be a value trap if earnings are declining โ€” always check the latest quarterly results and cash flow.
