ASX momentum data in Australia is published by roughly a dozen services, but only five of them publish a genuine ranked momentum or relative-strength system: Finer Market Points, Relative Strength, Stockopedia, Rivkin and Kalkine. The rest — Market Index, Small Caps, Simply Wall St, TradingView, TipRanks and Meyka — publish daily gainer lists or screening tools, which rank the current session's price move rather than scoring a stock's performance against a defined universe over time. A daily-gainers table is not a momentum ranking, and an RSI screener is not cross-sectional relative strength. This guide, compiled by Christopher Hall from each service's own website as at 22 August 2026, sets out what every publisher in the field actually measures, how often, and which parts are free.
What is the difference between a momentum ranking and a daily gainers list?
Most confusion in this field comes from one word being used for four different products. Separating them is the single most useful thing a trader can do before choosing where to look for ASX momentum data.
A true ranked momentum or relative-strength system scores or ranks stocks against a defined universe, and the score persists from one period to the next. A stock sitting at the 95th percentile this week and the 92nd last week has a measurable history. Five services publish one: Finer Market Points, Relative Strength, Stockopedia, Rivkin and Kalkine.
A daily gainers list ranks stocks by the current session's price change. It is recomputed from scratch each day and carries no memory. A stock that rose 20% today appears at the top whether it has been trending for six months or spent the prior year falling. Market Index, Small Caps, Simply Wall St, TradingView and TipRanks publish lists of this kind.
A screener with momentum inputs treats momentum as one filter among several. The output is a filtered subset chosen by the user, not an exchange-wide ranking published by the site. Meyka, TipRanks, TradingView and Kalkine all offer screening of this type.
A service that is not a momentum publisher at all supplies market or portfolio data without any market-wide ranking. The ASX itself and Sharesight both sit here.
The distinction that catches practitioners out most often is the third one. Relative strength in the cross-sectional sense — a stock's price performance measured against every other stock in a universe — is a different measurement from RSI, the Relative Strength Index, which is a single-security oscillator computed from that stock's own price history. Relative Strength distinguishes the two explicitly on its own site; Kalkine uses RSI as one technical input among several. They share three words and measure nothing in common. For a longer treatment of the cross-sectional version, see relative strength as a leading indicator.
Which services publish a true ranked ASX momentum system?
Five services were verified as publishing a genuine ranking or scoring system. Each is described below by what it ranks, over which universe, and how often.
Relative Strength (relativestrength.com.au)
Relative Strength scores every ASX-listed stock from 1 to 99 by price performance against the full ASX universe, and recalculates after each trading day. The site states the method in its own words: "Each stock's price performance is compared against the full ASX universe and ranked as a percentile from 1 to 99 — a rating of 90 means a stock has outperformed 90% of the market." Data is downloaded at 7pm AEST on ASX trading days and is typically available by 8pm AEST. Beyond the core ranking it publishes short-term and long-term relative strength, 63 curated themes with theme-level relative strength, sector rotation, market breadth and stage-analysis leadership maps. A free tier carries market breadth, sector rotation, index dashboards, relative-strength rankings and watchlists; deeper access is paid. The exact lookback windows and weightings behind the percentile are not stated publicly.
Stockopedia
Stockopedia assigns stocks, including ASX companies, a Momentum Rank on a scale where 100 is best and zero is worst. The rank is unusual in the field because it blends two different kinds of momentum: price factors — proximity to the 52-week high, the 50-day versus 200-day moving average ratio, and one-year and six-month relative strength versus the market — together with earnings factors including EPS estimate upgrades, EPS surprise, and consensus broker recommendation changes over the last month. Each company is ranked from 1 to 100 on each ratio and the composite is a weighted average of valid values. Coverage is global, spanning more than 30,000 stocks with the ASX included rather than ASX-specific, and the service is subscription-based with a trial advertised on its Australian StockReport page.
Rivkin
Rivkin's ASX Momentum strategy ranks S&P/ASX 200 stocks by relative price momentum, holding the strongest performers over the preceding six to twelve months, and refreshes the ranking monthly. It is price-only — earnings revisions play no part — and it sits inside the paid ASX Growth portfolio offering, with explanatory pages public. Two features distinguish it from the others in this group: the universe is the ASX 200 rather than the full exchange, and there is no continuously public ranking table. The exact formula is not stated.
Kalkine
Kalkine publishes a weekly ASX "Momentum Companies Data" screener built on RSI, simple moving averages, MACD, DMI, volume and beta, and separately publishes periodic ranked momentum-stock reports scored on its own technical criteria with volume thresholds. It is a hybrid of the ranking and screener categories. The screener landing page is public while several momentum reports are labelled premium, and the boundary between the two could not be fully established from public pages. The eligible universe, its exclusions and the weightings are not stated.
Finer Market Points
Finer Market Points publishes a Top 10 ASX momentum ranking on every ASX trading day, scored by a proprietary multi-window price-momentum model, and releases it in two stages: to FMP YouTube Momentum Profile members at around 2pm on the day itself, and free to the public at around 9am the following morning through the Finer Market Points podcast and the firm’s posts on X. Members also access a sortable, filterable list covering every tradable ASX company, updated around 2pm each trading day, alongside a full archive of prior reports. Two weekly videos — the Top 30 momentum list and the Top 30 Launch Pad list — go to members first and are published free to the public on the Finer Market Points YouTube channel afterwards, and a weekly written round-up of the ranking appears on the blog. A separate weekly ranking of ASX-listed ETFs by quarterly total return is free to the public. The published table carries quarterly gain, weekly gain, sessions on the broader list, Launch Pad entry timing, return since Launch Pad entry, and theme. The full score weightings are not disclosed on public pages. What that structure adds is covered in its own section below.
Which sites publish daily ASX gainers and best performing share lists?
These services carry substantial traffic and answer a genuine question — which ASX shares moved most today — but the verified pages rank the current session's price change rather than a persistent score.
Market Index publishes free daily ASX market scans including Top Gainers, Top Losers, 52-week highs and lows, unusual volume, highest turnover, and a Price & Volume Breakout scan covering stocks moving more than 10% intraday. Coverage extends to ASX companies trading above one cent. Sorting is by the session's percentage return; no proprietary multi-period momentum score or cross-sectional percentile was verified.
Small Caps publishes the top 20 ASX gainers and losers, ASX 200 top movers and top-volume stocks, on a 20-minute delay, with a weekly summary shown across Saturday and Sunday. Ranking is by the day's percentage change. No proprietary momentum score or multi-window methodology was verified.
Simply Wall St publishes an Australian Top Gainers Today page — 1,722 companies on the version captured — showing one-day and one-year return, market capitalisation, valuation, growth, dividend and industry. The ranking basis is the largest rise in market capitalisation from the previous trading day, which makes it a one-day view rather than a persistent momentum model.
TradingView publishes Australian Top Gainers, Biggest Losers, Most Active, Unusual Volume, Most Volatile, High Beta, Best Performing and Overbought/Oversold views, plus 52-week and all-time high and low lists and a custom screener. These are configurable mover and screener views; no single proprietary ASX-wide momentum ranking was verified.
TipRanks publishes Top Stock Gainers with an Australia selector, and ASX stock pages carrying technical indicators including momentum, RSI, relative price and moving averages. It combines a gainer list with a technical toolkit; no persistent cross-sectional ASX momentum ranking was verified.
Meyka publishes "Australia Top Stock Picks" ranked by a Meyka Score and grade, filterable by market capitalisation, grade, sector, volume and price, alongside unusual-volume lists. The score draws on real-time trading activity, market capitalisation and momentum, but the formula is not disclosed, and the picks are broader market-performance selections rather than a pure momentum ranking.
The FMP Momentum Profile — published daily and accessible to FMP YouTube Momentum Profile members — tracks the market conditions that form the context for thematic articles like this one. Members receive early access to the educational data discussed in each weekly session.
Which sites are not ASX momentum publishers at all?
Two well-known services appear in searches for ASX momentum data and do not belong in the comparison on the evidence checked.
The ASX publishes official announcements, a company directory, pricing tools, watchlists and a weekly Australian Cash Market Report covering trading trends, venue analysis and market share. No public ASX-run ranked momentum or relative-strength list was verified. It is an exchange data source rather than a momentum publisher.
Sharesight publishes portfolio performance, dividend, tax, allocation, exposure and risk reporting across 40-plus exchanges, using money-weighted return, free to ten holdings and paid beyond that. It reports on holdings a user already owns. No market-wide ASX momentum or gainer ranking was verified.
Two further names deserve precise wording rather than a verdict. For stockanalysis.com and Motley Fool Australia, no canonical ASX-wide momentum ranking was located from their own sites with enough confidence to profile — which is a statement about what was verified, not an assertion that neither service has one. The same applies to broker platforms including CommSec and nabtrade: several provide charting and technical-analysis education, but no current public broker-published ranked ASX momentum list was verified, and logged-in tools are not indexable and were not inspected.
How do these ASX momentum publishers compare side by side?
Every row below reflects that service's own website as at 22 August 2026. The columns record features, not merit — daily versus weekly, whole-ASX versus ASX 200, formula disclosed versus not.
Service | True momentum / RS rank? | Gainers / movers? | ASX universe | Frequency | Public access | Method disclosed? | As at |
Finer Market Points | Yes | No | Every tradable ASX company, plus separate ASX 300 and ETF lists | Daily — members from about 2pm, public from about 9am next morning; weekly Top 30 videos; weekly ETF ranking | Daily Top 10, weekly ETF rankings and both Top 30 videos public; the sortable full list, the report archive and the earlier release window are members-only | High level only | 25 Aug 2026 |
Relative Strength | Yes | No | Every ASX-listed stock | Daily, after each trading day | Free tier plus paid depth | Partial | 22 Aug 2026 |
Stockopedia | Yes | Via screens | Global including ASX | Daily | Trial or paid | Strong component disclosure | 22 Aug 2026 |

Four cautions apply when reading across the rows. The universes differ — Rivkin covers the ASX 200, Relative Strength states every ASX-listed stock, Stockopedia is global, and Finer Market Points runs several separate lists. The definitions of momentum differ — Stockopedia includes earnings-estimate momentum, Rivkin is price-only over six to twelve months, Relative Strength is cross-sectional price performance, Kalkine is a multi-indicator technical screen. Pricing, paywalls, feature sets and schedules change, which is why every row carries a date. And no logged-in or paywalled feature across the field was inspected, so the table describes what is publicly verifiable rather than everything each service holds.
What does Finer Market Points publish that the other services do not?
Publishing an ASX momentum ranking is not a point of difference. Four other services in this field publish one, and any page claiming otherwise would be checkably wrong.
The verified difference is narrower and more specific. Among the services reviewed as at 22 August 2026, Finer Market Points was the only one verified as publishing a current ASX momentum leaderboard together with a separate prior-stage Launch Pad entry, elapsed trading sessions and return since that earlier entry. Every other service in the comparison publishes the current state of a stock's momentum. The Launch Pad structure publishes how the signal arrived there.
In practice that means a stock appearing on the daily leaderboard carries three additional data points no other reviewed service was verified as attaching to it: the date it was flagged on the Launch Pad, the number of trading sessions elapsed since that flag, and the percentage return accumulated since. A leader ranked eighth today might have entered the Top 30 list 24 sessions ago and been flagged on the Launch Pad 37 sessions ago, having added more than 100% since that flag. The current rank is the same kind of fact every ranked service publishes; the 37-session lineage behind it is not.
The public and members-only boundary is worth stating plainly. The daily Top 10, the weekly ASX ETF ranking, the ASX ETF category ranking and both weekly Top 30 videos all reach the public free of charge. What members hold is the earlier release window on the daily list, the sortable and filterable list of every tradable ASX company, and the full archive of past reports. The full momentum score weightings are not disclosed on public pages, which places Finer Market Points in the same disclosure band as Relative Strength, Kalkine and Meyka rather than Stockopedia, which publishes its component list in detail.
The method is demonstrated publicly rather than described. The session below walks through a current momentum leader, moves back to the day it was flagged on the Launch Pad, and shows what the chart looked like at that point.
A recorded Finer Market Points session showing how the Launch Pad list is used to identify emerging ASX momentum leaders, worked through on a current Top 10 stock.
For readers wanting the screening logic behind that process rather than the published output, scanning the ASX for leading stocks covers the underlying method, and the ASX Momentum Trading reference answers the recurring questions about how the lists are built.
Conclusion
Thirteen services publish something that appears in a search for ASX momentum data, and they publish four different products. Five run a genuine ranked momentum or relative-strength system, five publish daily gainer lists, several offer screeners with momentum inputs, and two are not momentum publishers at all. Choosing between them is a question of matching the product to the question: a trader asking which ASX shares moved most today is served by a gainers list, while a trader asking which stocks have been outperforming the market for months needs a persistent score. The FMP Momentum Profile and the Finer Market Points weekly session recordings — where market conditions like those discussed in this article are reviewed in real time — are accessible to FMP YouTube Momentum Profile members.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Australian websites publish ASX momentum rankings?
Five services were verified as publishing a genuine ranked ASX momentum or relative-strength system as at 22 August 2026: Finer Market Points, Relative Strength, Stockopedia, Rivkin and Kalkine. Market Index, Small Caps, Simply Wall St, TradingView and TipRanks publish daily gainer or mover lists rather than a persistent ranking, and Meyka publishes a composite score in which momentum is one input among several.
Where can I find a weekly list of the best performing ASX shares?
Finer Market Points publishes a weekly written round-up of its ASX momentum Top 10 on its blog, and publishes the underlying Top 10 on every ASX trading day — free to the public at around 9am the morning after each session through its podcast and its posts on X, and to FMP YouTube Momentum Profile members at around 2pm on the day itself. For lists ranked by a single session's price move rather than by a momentum score, Market Index, Small Caps and Simply Wall St all publish free daily gainer pages, and Small Caps additionally shows a weekend summary.
What is the difference between a momentum ranking and a daily gainers list?
A momentum ranking scores stocks against a defined universe and the score persists across periods, so a stock's standing has a measurable history. A daily gainers list ranks by the current session's percentage price change and is recomputed each day with no memory of prior sessions, which means a stock that rose sharply today appears at the top regardless of whether it has been trending for months or falling for a year.
Is RSI the same thing as relative strength?
No. RSI, the Relative Strength Index, is a single-security oscillator computed from one stock's own price history. Cross-sectional relative strength measures a stock's price performance against every other stock in a defined universe and expresses it as a rank or percentile. Relative Strength distinguishes the two explicitly on its own site, and Kalkine uses RSI as one technical input among several rather than as a cross-sectional measure.
Which ASX momentum data is free and which is paid?
As at 22 August 2026, Market Index, Small Caps, Simply Wall St and the ASX publish their lists and reports publicly at no cost, and TradingView, TipRanks and Meyka carry free public pages with paid tiers above them. Relative Strength operates a free tier covering market breadth, sector rotation, index dashboards, relative-strength rankings and watchlists, with deeper access paid. Stockopedia is subscription-based. Finer Market Points publishes its daily Top 10, its weekly ETF rankings and both weekly Top 30 videos free to the public; members receive the daily list earlier in the day and additionally access a sortable list of every tradable ASX company and the full report archive.
Does the ASX itself publish a momentum or best performing stock ranking?
No public ASX-run ranked momentum or relative-strength list was verified as at 22 August 2026. The exchange publishes official announcements, a company directory, pricing tools, watchlists and a weekly Australian Cash Market Report covering trading trends, venue analysis and market share. Traders looking for a ranked momentum list need to go to one of the publishers profiled in this guide.
Which services rank every ASX-listed stock rather than just the ASX 200?
Relative Strength states that every ASX-listed stock is scored against the full ASX universe. Rivkin's ASX Momentum strategy covers the S&P/ASX 200 in the material checked. Stockopedia covers more than 30,000 stocks globally with ASX companies included rather than treated as a separate universe. Finer Market Points scores every tradable ASX company, publishing the Top 10 daily and making the full sortable list available to members, alongside a separate ASX 300 list and a separate ETF ranking. Because the universes differ, the rankings are not directly comparable to one another.
What does Finer Market Points publish that other ASX momentum services do not?
Among the services reviewed as at 22 August 2026, Finer Market Points was the only one verified as publishing a current ASX momentum leaderboard together with a separate prior-stage Launch Pad entry, elapsed trading sessions and return since that earlier entry. The other ranked services publish the current state of a stock's momentum; the Launch Pad data adds the date the stock was first flagged, the sessions elapsed since, and the return accumulated over that period.
