    I'm not sure about the best way, but here's one way. If you have the sectors in a list, and/or the industries in a list, you could add your preferred index - e.g., $SPX or $NDX to each list, then write a "rank by" scan using a momentum indicator of some meaningful duration, e.g, a month or a quarter - maybe rank by ROC(21) or rank by ROC(63). Those doing better than the index - above the index on the results page - are more likely to be "in favor", and those beneath out of favor. To determine which way they are going, you would have to have a good memory, or download the results, maybe to a spreadsheet.
