MOMENTUM

We run our proprietary momentum scoring algorithm on indices just like we do on stocks. You can use the momentum scores of sub-indices to get a sense for which sectors have the wind on their backs and those that are facing headwinds.

Traders can pick their longs in sectors with high short-term momentum and their shorts in sectors with low momentum. Investors can use the longer lookback scores to position themselves using our re-factored index Themes.

You can see how the momentum algorithm has performed on individual stocks here.

Here are the best and the worst sub-indices:

Relative Strength Spread widened out – a good sign for momentum strategies. Metals, infra and energy indices continued to troll the depths. Pharma was the strongest.

A retracement is underway for most indices. CNX 100 broke about its 50-day SMA, activating the Tactical CNX 100 Theme. With most companies yet to announce their results, curb your enthusiasm.

Relative Strength Spread Charts

What is Relative Strength Spread?

Relative Strength Spread of a stock is the relative cumulative performance of the stock vs. the CNX 500 index over the same period.

We had discussed how the Relative Strength Spread Index is a coincident indicator of momentum earlier. With a new update, we are publishing charts of relative strengths of individual stocks over multiple lookback periods. This can be found under the ‘Quant’ tab of the equity pages.

How to interpret Relative Strength Spread?

Relative Strength Spread is a measure of historical out-performance. By observing the RS-Spread over different lookback periods, investors can get a sense of future direction of momentum. For example, if you look at the RS-Spread of TATAMOTORS, you can observe how the stock lagged the broad market for the better part of the year before suddenly turning around in the last few days.

TATAMOTORS.relstrength

Now contrast that to BHARATFORG:

BHARATFORG.relstrength

Unlike a price or return chart that looks at an individual stock, the RS-Spread chart incorporates information from a broad set of stocks and compares it to the market average. It has more information content than the ‘Relative Momentum’ chart as well.
