Relative strength is a quantitative measure of a stock's performance in relation to the rest of the market, expressed generally in percentage form. Numerous studies have demonstrated relative strength may be a powerful tool for stock selection. A key strength of this methodology is that it's based on unbiased, objective market data, as opposed to a more subjective forecasting and research model.
