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.

Coverage: BETXT, BETXT components, SIF5 Futures, DOW Jones

The SIF5 special

After 90% collapse from top 2007 valuations and after a multitude of indicators we had enough reasons to believe that Mar 2009 low was of a multi year nature. This was the reason we screamed positivity back then. We talked about negativity in May 2010 and advised our members to get ready for a last dip buy before prices move up for a few years well into 2012.

This special report analysis SIF5 in detail from many aspects across time frames to understand the movement of SIF 5 well into 2012. We have carried multiple scenarios with possibility and probabilities of new low and new highs, worst case and best case scenarios, exit and entry levels and Elliott projections.

The first slide illustrated here is the SIF5 spot on a minor time frame. Our immediate view is that SIF5 spot is in a counter trend and has further upside. Any downside now should be marginal maybe till 1.12 levels after which SIF5 spot should resume higher. In case prices break anticipated supports the next entry is mentioned in cases ahead.

This report is a must read for any serious investor on the Romanian capital markets.

The Romanian Hammers

A price pattern in candlestick charting that occurs when a security trades significantly lower than its opening, but rallies later in the day to close either above or close to its opening price. This pattern forms a hammer-shaped candlestick.

A hammer occurs after a security has been declining, possibly suggesting the market is attempting to determine a bottom.

The signal does not mean bullish investors have taken full control of a security, it simply indicates that the bulls are strengthening.

The last few days of price action has created Hammer formations on many Romanian equity assets. Barring BETFI and SIF2 which have long shadow exhaustion candles but not real Hammers all of TLV, BETNG, BIO, ATB, BRD, SNP, BETC and BET have classic hammer reversal suggesting potential reversal from recent lows.

Reducing Romanian BETXT portfolio risk by hedging with Dow Jones Euro STOXX 50

Orpheus Performance cycles are not only about ranking assets, long only – short only signal, but also about the time arbitrage. This arbitrage is between performance, buying the performer and selling the underperformer. Such a strategy reduces overall volatility in the payoff. We saw this happening on prior occasions where despite market volatility, the pair returns were not as volatile.

Execution of a strategy is as important as the construction of the strategy. Leverage is an essential part of the execution. Local markets in Romania don’t offer low leverage instruments. To do a long ATB – Short Dow Futures pair at SIBEX the arbitrageur has to assume a leverage of 20 times on Dow futures. This means that a 5% negative performance wipes off all the capital. Hence executing a performance cycles strategy for local markets remain limited to performance rankings, stock picking, naked signals and high leverage pair trading. There is nothing wrong with the high leverage trading, but it adds volatility to an arbitrage strategy that is designed to reduce payoff volatility.

Today we explore a method to reduce leverage on the arbitrage strategy. We have introduced DJ STOXX Euro 50, in our local BETXT portfolio. The index represents the top European 50 companies. It is a popular index and well traded on the secondary market on many stock exchanges. London Stock Exchange trades a double short ETF on the Dow Jones Euro STOXX 50. This instrument offers a leverage of two times. The symbol traded as SEU2.L has a unit price of 78 Euros.

We not only ranked Dow Jones Euro STOXX 50 along with BETXT components and BETXT, but also looked at performance cycles of Dow Jones Euro STOXX 50 with SIF5, TGN, TEL, ATB etc. The performance cycles are pretty clean and suggest that we can use SEU2.L (derivative on Dow Jones Euro STOXX 50) to hedge SIF5 or local BVB stocks. One may want to ask why one would want to buy local BVB stocks. The answer is easy. Despite all the visible negativity Dow Jones Euro STOXX 50 should underperform BETXT stocks i.e. SIF5, ATB, TGN, TEL etc.

If you believe Romanian markets are oversold and could offer a good entry opportunity, but you want to have an exit strategy too, you can also use SEU2.L traded in London to hedge your local spot portfolio. This way you not only reduce the risk in the strategy making it less volatile, have more instruments to hedge than what the local market offers and also make potential arbitrage gains.

We continue to monitor the open Dow pairs. They are all up from last week: Dow – SIF5 Future 48%, Dow- BETXT 36%, ATB – BETXT is up 11% and DOW – ATB hit a stop. The latest Alpha Romania carries the latest numeric ranking, numeric ranking changes, long only – short only signals, running pair performance signals, performance and pair cycles and strategy updates. BRD, AZO, CMP are the top ranked stocks, while IMP, SIF3, SIF2 the worst. To read the report login to the member’s area.

Waves.Romania – Retracement Overview

The whole idea of performance ranking can also be seen through Fibonacci retracements. There are stocks that fell more than the market and there are stocks that fell less than the market. And even indices and sectors had polarized performance.

For example BET and BETC barely retraced 0.382 Fibonacci levels while BETFI is already down 50% of the total up move from Mar 2009. One may think this financial sector underperformance is broad based. But this was not the case BRD and ERST retraced 0.382 Fibonacci levels and outperformed SIFs.

Last but not the least, stocks and indices that are at 0.618 Fibonacci levels are heading to worst performance and become potentially attractive. Remember the worst ones offer the best value and vice versa.

The latest WAVES.ROM carries candle sticks and Fibonacci updates for the top indices and stocks at BVB.
