Thanks for the kind words and post. The idea is very simple. Performance is cyclical and always against a benchmark. What we have done is just created a performance cycle methodology with which we can see where a certain asset is placed compared to it’s benchmark.

If the stock is on high of the performance cycle, we know it will start to underperform soon and vice versa. Peformance cycle is a part of time fractals. This means how long a certain asset may outperform or undeperform depends on what time frame you want to study performance on, performance intra day, peformance for a few days, few weeks, few months or few years.

Regarding your other question, you are comparing metal majors in NIFTY with BSE METALS composite Index. This is why the difference.

Hi,

I’m an avid reader and think you guys are on to something big! A couple of queries..
1. How do you work out which stock is topping or bottoming out? And how much longer the under/out performance will continue?
2. In the above report, the metals sector is an underperformer, whereas most leading metal stocks are outperformers. Is there a contradiction or have I missed something?

Thanks for the post and kind words. Trading time is easy if you visualise the triad structure. You have to mix two degrees of time or three degrees of time if you want higher accuracy in signals. regarding non direction trading, volatility can be isolated from any asset class. Isolate volatility, establish volatility cycles, look at the confluence of cycles at two degrees of time and your straddles and/or strangles should start working.

I find your website… an “eye-opening experience”. I would like to know if you could help in gaining the same knowledge about how to trade “time”.
I am myself deeply immersed into pairs trading, but the signal is more shorter and frequent, with the estimated out-performance to be captured in the range of 7-11 % and using money management and leverage to better the trading results.
Another thing that really interests me is the Non-directional trading, especially on the Options front and am a firm believer in ruled-based trading.
