‘Performance cycles’ is a term coined by Orpheus Capitals. This is another name for time triads, time arbitrage, time fractals but expressed in terms of relative performance. It’s a bounded oscillator that moves from 1 to 30. 1 is top relative performance and 30 is worst performance. The idea is that performance is cyclical. A top performer will underperform in future and vice versa. A top relative performer is also the worst value pick and the top relative underperformer is the best value pick.

Waves.India does it again, delivers 79% accuracy

This is the third year in a row we have delivered above 70% accuracy. After we got the Mar 09 low, Tech Reversal, BSE metals buy, buy despite terror attacks, 79% accuracy should not surprise. Moreover, the move up from Mar 09 low till May 09 high was one way. We admit that the move from May 09 onwards was tricky. We have not witnessed such large corrective formations. Time is always new and original, there is never a same time, though it (time) could be similar. Despite the confusions around May 09, how did we come out unscathed? The rules are very simple. Never fall in love with a forecast and be fast to admit a mistake. The earlier we expect that market is doing something other than what we expect it do, faster we can understand the next intermediate trend. This approach helped us not to question the unrelenting rocket in technology. This kept us on the broader trend.

There is another thing we would like to mention. Markets have infinite alpha, if systems could trade every tick. But owing to liquidity, costs, slippages and effort, alpha seems finite. Markets were up 70% for the year, but one could have traded up legs and down legs and generated more than 70% net gains. The quest to gain more has a tradeoff. The more alpha one tries to generate, the more error prone the work gets. Behaviorologists don’t agree that traders, fund managers, researchers can generate more than the market return. Last two years, we generated more than the net market returns. This time we targeted an absolute move of 83% and manage to capture 66%. This was the same as the market return.

We have measured accuracy on intermediate time forecasts. All Waves India reports mention levels. It’s the levels, which judge how accurate we are. We have pulled out the levels along with the trends and compared forecasted with actual. An average actual intermediate move was 8% large. The market letter captured average 5% of the 8% move. This gives us an accuracy of 79% for the year. We have detailed out the reports, the dates, the Sensex levels and have tabulated all of them in a tracker.

Enjoy the India Accuracy report.

Volatility and sleeping markets

Question: Are American and Indian markets sleeping?
Answer: Yes they are because in the last 20 days indices have moved a marginal 1%.

Question: How can we define sleeping markets statistically and psychologically?
Answer: Low volatility is a statistical way to explain the lackluster nature of the market. Low volatility is seen across global equity today. Low volatility is a sign of complacency that the worst is over. “Now we really can’t get back into the crisis”. “Crisis is behind us”. These are the inflexion points where markets face a surprise as volatility rises.

Question: One could say that Romanian markets are not sleeping as there is no volatility indicator?
Answer: Incorrect. Reuters has a statistical volatility indicator. A similar behavior like India and America, low volatility is happening in Romania too.

Question: How can one explain the market view based on the above volatility stats?
Answer: If volatility is about market activity, complacency and about cyclical statistics (after low volatility comes highs volatility) then the rise from Mar 09 low to nearly Feb 10 makes the current leg 11 month old. After 11 months complacency and drop in market activity cannot be considered positive. It is indecision. After low volatility comes high volatility and rise in volatility is generally a sign of fear not confidence. In conclusion we are heading into a time of rising volatility and exhaustion of the trend from Mar 09.

Performance cycles is a term coined by Orpheus Capitals. This is another name for time triads, time arbitrage, time fractals but expressed in terms of relative performance. It’s a bounded oscillator that moves in a range say from 1 to 30. 1 is top relative performance and 30 is worst performance. The idea is that performance is cyclical. A top performer will underperform in future and vice versa. A top relative performer is also the worst value pick and the top relative underperformer is the best value pick.

Numeric Ranking


Performance Cycles

Alpha is a pair trading, long only – short only strategy and numeric ranking product based on TIME fractals. Time arbitrage, Time Triads, Time fractals are terms coined by Orpheus Research. The signals are carried over three different time frames viz. sub minor (2-3 days), minor (10-30 days) and intermediate (above 30 days). This is a daily signal product. The signals will be illustrated through tracker and running portfolios. Alpha can be used by fund managers for relative allocations, traders for leverage bets and high net worth clients for selective trades. This is a part of the time triads analytics developed by Orpheus Research.

Performance cycles is a term coined by Orpheus Capitals. This is another name for time triads, time arbitrage, time fractals but expressed in terms of relative performance. It’s a bounded oscillator that moves in a range say from 1 to 30. 1 is top relative performance and 30 is worst performance. The idea is that performance is cyclical. A top performer will underperform in future and vice versa. A top relative performer is also the worst value pick and the top relative underperformer is the best value pick.

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. Minor degree averaged 10-30 days and intermediate degree trade averages above 30 days. The legs should be risk weighted before any implementation. We are assuming a running stop loss of 2% per traded pair. SIF2/SIF5 +A-B means LONG SIF2, SHORT SIF5. While SIF2/SIF5 –A+B means SHORT SIF2, LONG SIF5.

Time is a social construct and we see time through the life and nature around us. Understanding time can not only give a unifying theory to research of a few thousand years, but also help us understand the world we live in. Time evolves, oscillates and continues. Time comes before everything, but we don’t see it. We just feel it. We believe what we see and this is why understanding what we don’t see is a challenge. Understanding time could bring more than a conventional thought down, it’s a revolution, which could rock the very foundation of economic thought or the geometric structures Euclid laid down in 300 BC. We are at the start of the journey, but if time is indeed the real mathematics, we could see high accuracy in time forecasts.

Econohistory is the study of performance cycles between assets. Cycles are the generic name for time fractals. Performance cycles can be studied for any time frame, for as small as a tick data to multiyear time frames. This objective approach to performance cyclicality can explain why intermarket analysis is an area of study? Why bonds and commodities tend to be inversely related? What is the connection of Oil with world markets? Why the world watches DOW sometimes and sometimes a 500 point effect on DOW seems to have no impact? Why correlation between assets moves from near perfect at times to weak correlation at other times? Why the same news has different impact on a stock or market? Why equities and bond trend together and why the relationship decouples sometime? When will inflation become deflation, disinflation, stagflation or hyperinflation? When and why does gold outperform and underperform silver? Econohistory can objectively answer these questions, using performance cycles, time fractals and past data. Economic history is mathematical.
