Which sectors are best ranked?
Which sectors are worst ranked?
Will the best ranked underperform and vice versa?
Can this help me make a strategy, to shortlist the best short ideas, if the markets are falling and vice versa?

So we ran a Jiseki query

1) Filter the best performing sectors above 80%
2) Filter them for falling Jiseki cycle negative crossover signals
3) Find the top ranked stocks in that sector
4) Filter the list for running short signals

Can you guess the sector and the stock which fulfills these conditions?

We have answered all these questions in the latest ALPHA. The report carries technical cases on all the banking stocks, ranking of pairs, the top running pair, Jiseki cycles on the banking stocks and a sector preview.

To read more about our JISEKI RANKINGS, Signals and queries mail us today.

Our Jiseki Time cycles are seasonal patterns of strength or weakness in assets. They are derived from percentile rankings from 1 to 100. The higher the percentile more the chance for an asset to weaken and worst the ranking, better the chance for the respective asset to outperform. 100 is top relative performance and 1 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. Jiseki is another name for Performance cycles, time triads and time fractals. The signals are illustrated as a running portfolio and as Jiseki Indices. These signals can be used by fund managers for relative allocations, traders for leverage bets and high net worth clients for selective trades.

Jiseki Interpretation. Signals are interpreted as crossovers between various Jiseki Cycles. All three Jiseki cycles (Jiseki 1,2 and 3) depict different time frames. Example: An asset is ranked above 80 percentile and all the three Jiseki cycles are pointing lower, this suggests a running SHORT SIGNAL. Our Jiseki Indices use different kind of exits based on price and Jiseki Cycles. We have color coded the (Jiseki 1>Jiseki 2) SHORT zones with brown sandy (burlywood) and grey (Jiseki 1>Jiseki2) for LONG SIGNALS.

Domnita Pascut is the founding member of Orpheus Capitals.  Her interest in charts and market patterns was an extension of her keen understanding of social mood and sentiment. How charts could say so much intrigued her. From early 2005 she worked on market patterns, economic research, cyclicality and economic history. It was her liking for history which helped her see the cyclical natures of markets and patterns. Domnita gives more weightage to conventional technical analysis, channels, trendlines, market patterns and Fibonacci. She combines all this with basic Elliott structures, performance cycles and high low close bars.

Do you know how many times you use “Probably” in a day? The word is a part of our colloquial expression because society embraces uncertainty, disorder and randomness as natural. Whether it’s a rolling die, a tossing coin, or an event, uncertainty is everywhere. This is why the society believes that a butterfly’s wings in Brazil can set off a tornado in Texas.

But mathematicians have illustrated a very contrary certainty again and again, the certain pattern of randomness. Imagine a robotic beetle placed in a twisting tube. The creature executes an infinite random walk by walking forever as it moves randomly one step forward or one step back in the tube. Assume that the tube is infinitely long. What is the probability (chance) that the random walk will eventually take the beetle back to its starting point?

In 1921, Hungarian Mathematician George Pólya proved that the answer is one – infinite likelihood of return for a one dimensional random walk. If the beetle were placed at the origin of a two – space universe (a plane), and then the beetle executed an infinite random walk by taking a step north, south, east, or west, the probability that the random walk would eventually take the beetle back to the origin is also one.

Let me take you through some more random patterns which has intrigued mathematicians for ages. Parrondo’s Paradox. In the late 1990’s, Spanish physicist Juan Parrondo showed how two games guaranteed to make a player lose all his money can be played in alternating sequence to make the player rich….

Divergence is a part of nature, it is also observed in markets. This special issue on Indian Banks illustrate the divergence between YES Bank and SBI from May 2009 to Nov 2010 of 300%. The tough part about divergence is that there are few tools that can quantify it.

When will divergence between sector peers end?
What is high and low divergence?
Does it have maximum or minimum or average value?
Can we rank divergence spread between sector peers?

Orpheus Jiseki provides objective tools to explain divergence. We queried the Banking universe to understand.

1) Which are the most diverged Banking pairs?
2) Whether divergence is important to be seen for a month, 6 months or a year?
3) Can we rank the divergence between all banking pairs?
4) Does it tell us which are the banking outperformers?
5) Does it tell us whether banking sector will bottom?

We have answered all these questions in the latest ALPHA. The report carries technical cases on all the banking stocks, ranking of pairs, the top running pair, Jiseki cycles on the banking stocks and a sector preview.

This is another working of the NEW JISEKI PAIR service. How did we do pairs previously? What has changed? Previously we used to do net rankings, selling the best and buying the worst. Now we are combining three Jiseki cycles together, like we do in individual stocks. The combination of the various Jiseki cycles tell us if the pair ratio line is headed higher or lower. If the ratio line between BPCL and HPCL (blue) is headed higher, it is long BPCL, short HPCL and vice versa. Interpretation can wary, a more risky trade can just involve the interaction of Jiseki 1>or<Jiseki2 or it can involve all the three of them. Example only go long BPCL short HPCL if all the three Jiseki are trended up, as at point C. From C point the pair has delivered 20% over the last 12 months. JISEKI PAIR service can also be used for stock selection, which sector peer to own and which to reduce or close.
