Index Update 31.10.2015

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.

Dispersion is around its all-time lows – momentum algos will be struggling to find a toe-hold. Besides, the only thing that has worked in the last few months is long-only pharma and IT – both long USD trades.
