How it's built
Computes the 4-week vs 52-week price oscillator and selects the S&P 500 stocks showing the steepest near-term acceleration relative to their long-term path. Captures stocks shifting from drift to breakout — typically the early-to-mid stage of a fresh leg up.

Asset prices tend to underreact to early evidence of accelerating fundamentals. A widening short-vs-long-window gap signals demand outpacing the calmer baseline. Holds well in trending markets but reverses sharply on regime change — note the -30.1% historical drawdown.
