THE NUMERIC RANKING
Just like performance cycles, time triads are the basis for numeric ranking. Are you upset that you bought HDFC Bank when SBI moved up, you bought Caterpillar but GE delivered, in March 2009 low you put your bets on Nifty but the CNX IT outperformed blue chips by 40 per cent. That was for buyers; let’s talk about sellers now. Should I sell stronger assets, or the weaker ones? Now that natural gas has outperformed crude oil by 25 per cent since June 15, should I sell natural gas or oil? Has Infosys topped? “Should I book profits selling Infosys or is a short better on CNX IT?”READ MORE

ALPHA.GLOBAL – BOEING VS. OIL

800px-Boeing_314_Clipper

The first pair we tested on performance cycles were BOEING vs. OIL in July 2008. Oil was heading into new highs every day and Boeing was underperforming. Time fractals suggested that it was time for the performance cycle to turn in favor of the Industrial major. What happened was historical. The performance cycle we were tracking had a nine month periodicity. Oil crashed from 145 levels to 35 and despite all the negativity on equity Boeing outperformed. The pair made above 30% for the period.

We have come a long way since then. We have managed to reduce holding periods and made the pairs more tradable. We are using many filtering techniques to identify pairs, similar sector, beta sensitivities and pairing stocks against DOW. The latest ALPHA GLOBAL introduces 10 Global pairs, four against DOW Industrials, one pair from Industrial sector (United Tech, Boeing), one from staples (Macdonald’s and Coca Cola), a few cross sector (Boeing and Exxon) and a few cross asset (Dow vs. Oil and Dow vs. Gold). The top running pairs are Boeing vs. Exxon, Dow vs. Exxon, Coca Cola vs. Macdonald’s at 24%, 19% and 6% respectively. We are the only research company in the world to claim that Dow vs. Oil or Dow vs. Gold move in performance cycles at all time frames. Understanding such cyclicality can not only give tradable opportunities but also help in asset selection.

ALPHA.ROM – TRENDING VS. ANTICIPATING

ALPHA is a trending system. A trending system is different from an anticipatory system. Trending system follows the trend and does not give a reversal signal till price changes direction. Anticipatory system on the other hand anticipates when the reversal can be expected and gives early warning signals regarding change in trend. Now both these aspects are connected to each other. TIME as a matter of fact has both a trend and structure that can assist in anticipating reversals. As we mentioned prior we are working on anticipatory systems, which will improve our overall stock picking ability. At this stage ALPHA ROMANIA remains positive. The only negatives are the facts that a few performers like BRD are exhausting against their counter pair assets like BETXT, BET (Blue chip exhaustion is not a positive sign for the market) and fresh signals on BETC and TGN have not returned large gains over the last 10 days.

TIME ARBITRAGE portfolio has five pairs now viz. BRD-BET, BETXT-SNP, SIF2-SIF5, BRD-BETXT, BET-SNP. The above tracker will be updated on a daily basis. The freshly opened trades will have the shortest holding periods. The type of trade will be depicted in the degree i.e. sub minor (2-3 days), minor (10-30 days) and intermediate (above 30 days). The legs should be risk weighted before any implementation. We are assuming a running stop loss of 4% per traded pair. BRD/BET means LONG BRD, SHORT BET. This also means +A-B. When the pair inverts to BET/BRD, it would mean SHORT BRD, LONG BET meaning -A+B.

LONG ONLY, SHORT ONLY portfolio covers SIF2, SIF5, BRD, ERST, TGN. BET, BETFI, BETNG, BETXT, SNP.
