All you need to do is Forward Normalize the Price input of all your

:I think momentum sucks.   Another thing wrong with it is that if you
:use it for backtesting stocks your results might be meaningless.  If
:a stock is split the historical value changes after a split - what
:was  ($30 - $20)  becomes  ($15 - $10).  Better to convert to a
:Percent (rate of change) rather than use an absolute dollar value.
:Even converting to a slope, as Bob suggests, is inaccurate.  The
:previous
:$10 difference, for example, per month, becomes $5 per month.
:Not conducive to good system development.
