Waves.India – Ongoing intermediate correction up

Login for orpheus.asia member’s area here.

‘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.

Alpha.Romania – Anticipated TEL, TGN underperformance happens

We talked about the unexpected in March when we mentioned that TEL and TGN should underperform BETXT. We carried the pairs for our premium users on 15 Mar and 8 Mar respectively. Guess what? Both the pairs are positive up 4% and 3% respectively.

The outperformance of ALR against BETXT over the past week takes the pair profits up to 8%. We initiated the pair on 15 Mar 2010. BRK and CMP continued their outperformance against BETXT and reached 37% and 40% respectively. We don’t have the reversal signal for the TLV-BETXT pair yet, but will keep monitoring it.

On the long only, short only side we have no short signals yet. The latest ALPHA.ROM carries the latest numeric Ranking, numeric ranking changes, long only – short only signals, running pair performance signals, performance and pair cycles and strategy updates. TGN, TEL are the top ranked stocks while DOW, BRD, SIF5 Futures the worst.

Numeric Ranking

Performance Cycles – I

Performance Cycles – II

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 legs should be risk weighted before any implementation.

Dow Time Oscillator (updated)

Do you see the non confirmation between time oscillator and price? The non confirmation between the oscillator and price clearly suggests negativity going ahead for DOW. This is a case for an impending reversal. The oscillator structure also looks weak and ready to resolve lower.

This is what we said on 2 Jan 2010 for DOW Jones Industrial Average.

“Any January positivity should be an illusion. The first quarter of 2010 should be negative for DOW.”

Prices are up 0.96% from Jan high (10,729) to March lows (10,832). On one side we were wrong as prices did not reverse, but less than 1% upside is enough choppy action to prove that the best of TIME strength is over for DOW in the ongoing CYCLE.

March 2009 we started illustrating time oscillators with nesting momentum triads. We have been refining it since then. The current form of time oscillator combines three time frames. The oscillator moves like a cycle and should atleast push lower back till zero levels before anything. Time oscillator takes into account three time periods viz. minor (14 days), Intermediate (70 days) and primary (210 days). Here we have illustrated the time oscillator for NIFTY (India 50). The oscillator has clearly topped and should break down below key neckline supports soon. This keeps us looking at a topping price absolute price performance.

Published 2 Jan, 2010

Time Oscillator is a range bound indicator suggesting increase and decrease in time periods. Starting 30 Nov 1988, DOW witnessed a confirming increase in time periods till 30 Sep 1998. From 1998 time oscillator fell till 31 July 2001 along with the prices. Since 30 Apr 2008 the oscillator is falling till date. It is too early to assume that the rise in DOW is a new bull market and 2010 will be a positive year. Till the oscillator sees a further fall till 60-100 levels, the current rise on DOW remains a bear market rally that should correct into 2010.

Primary (multi month) perspective

Intermediate (multi week) perspective

Considering the primary (multi month) time is still pointing lower (above), the intermediate time oscillator at 250 days suggests an intermediate top might be near or already in. Only once since 2002 has the time oscillator breached 300 days.

Minor (multi day) perspective

On the minor time oscillator, the 2009 cycle seems over and prices should get ready to trend. Seeing the minor trend in light of intermediate and primary perspective, any January positivity should be an illusion. The first quarter of 2010 should be negative for DOW.

CYCLES covers global currency pair, global equity, emerging equity, and inter asset cycles. The product studies time cycle, asset outperformance and underperformance signals. The aim is to look at markets as a group and in isolation. This is a monthly perspective product that readers should use in conjunction with our other features like WAVES.GLOBAL , WAVES.INDIA, WAVES.FOREX, WAVES.METALS, WAVES.ENERGY, and other global features. Our economic and psychological world is well connected and cyclical. INTERMARKET CYCLES is a subject coined by us at Orpheus. The subject studies the asset linkages and the fixed periodicity between them. We look at the subject from three aspects. First from the sectoral aspect. As we redefine Equity sector rotation and reclassify global sectors into three broader sectors viz. Early Economic, Mid Economic and Late economic. We juxtapose these three broad sectors on the economic and business cycles. Second we look at subject from the 25-30 year Asset cycles. For example the 30 year Gold cycle and commodity cycle, which is inverse of the 30 year equity cycle or social prosperity cycle. Third we look at inter asset cycles between Gold and Oil, VIX and S&P, Technology and Blue Chips, Local Currency and numerous other asset pairs to look for asset outperformance and underperformance signals.
