Stockfetcher has Industries: https://www.stockfetcher.com/examples?q=industry
Stockfetcher has Sectors: https://www.stockfetcher.com/examples?q=sector
But there's no way to (momentum, relative/absolute) rank them?
It should be easier to:
-assess the market regime/environment
-identify momentum in sectors and industries (and rank them)
This kind of functionality should be native to Stockfetcher. There should be more statistical tools, and it should be possible sort filter results by some broad momentum criteria tied to the industry or sector itself. Then it should be possible to scan the components of those outperforming sectors/industries.
In TC2000, this is easy to do. You have a watchlist of industries or sectors. You sort by, say, ROC20. You click on the industry or sector row. Another watchlist is populated with every symbol in that sector. You sort THOSE by, say, by ROC20, or filter them by breakout. Now you're buying very tickers that are actually _providing the momentum that makes that sector or industry the leader_. WHY isn't something so (proven, logical, readily available in data) a bedrock feature here?
Why does this matter? Momentum is one only factors available to retail traders for consistent outperformance. So why aren't retail-grade tools making this easier?
Does anyone have a way to do this, kludge or not? I have tried using indexes as the proxy, but the problem is that the components are not provided.
Thanks.

Not perfect. This is what I look at.

Hi, Dave -- thank you for sharing the solution you use. I much appreciate it. I had experimented with using the SPDRs and think it's probably the best middle ground -- much as you use it.
Would you mind sharing how you use it? I noticed that you sort by column 5/Relative Strength. Are you monitoring sector (etfs) are the the top position, say on a daily basis or something? Will you then use that sector for running additional filters against?

Good idea on the ranking solution. Check out Barchart too. You can sign up for free.

Thanks, wantonellis. The barcharts sectors/industries are good, too. Hadn't been on that website for a while, always good stuff there. And it's easy to get to the components pretty quickly.
