The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It seems that the online screener does not have the set of Total Return [## weeks] fields.

I just checked, and you're right. How bizarre.

However, if it's of interest, I've always found the ratio of price to 52 week high to be one of the best all-round momentum criteria, and that is available. It's listed in the company data section, not the stock returns section.

(After a bear market during the rebound, use ratio or price to 52 week low for a few months instead)
