KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 11): theedgemarkets.com highlighted five stocks at Bursa Malaysia's afternoon close on Tuesday (Oct 11).

Three had positive momentum and two had negative momentum.

The stocks with positive momentum were:

• Progressive Impact Corporation Bhd — unchanged at 10 sen
• PJBumi Bhd — down two sen or 4.44% at 43 sen
• Privasia Technology Bhd — unchanged at 11 sen

The stocks with negative momentum were:

• AwanBiru Technology Bhd — up 1.5 sen or 3.13% at 49.5 sen
• MPHB Capital Bhd — unchanged at RM1.43

The list of stocks with momentum is generated using a proprietary mathematical algorithm highlighting stocks with a build-up in trading volume and price. The algorithm differentiates between stocks that exhibit positive (+ve) momentum and negative (-ve) momentum.

This list is not a buy or sell recommendation. It merely tells you which stocks are seeing higher-than-normal volume and price movements.

The share price may move up or down from this point. But the "+ve" (suggesting a rising price trend on volume) and "-ve" (suggesting a falling price trend on volume) indicators should give readers a better idea of what the market is buying and when to sell. Note also that momentum generally only persists for a short period of time.

However, each stock has an accompanying fundamental score and valuation score to help readers evaluate the attractiveness of the stocks if they want to ride the momentum.
