Alpha India – Reading the signals

By Orpheus | Published: 21 February, 2010

Alpha is designed from price performance. This is why all signals whether they come from numeric ranking, numeric ranking changes, performance cycles, strategy update should converge and not diverge. Executing the signals for passive investments should be easier than on active derivatives strategies. However, using mini Nifty futures, Nifty bees or spot stocks as one of the trading legs could reduce overall strategy risk. There are of course chances that a certain performance cycle may not work (not deliver anticipated profit), but this is more owing to intermediate cycles (multi week and higher), which may take time to turn.

Short Tisco – long Sterlite moved against us during the week and turned back. Now it is running at a marginal loss. We continue to run the pair expecting Tisco to underperform Sterlite. Other running pairs are Long Maruti – short M&M. We have a fresh signal in the case of Tata Motors. The long Nifty – short Tata Motors pair started on 2 Feb and has delivered gains over 3% so far. Other running pairs are HDFC Bank – ICICI Bank, Bhel-Acc, Sbi – Hdfc. We have closed the Dlf – Nifty, Bhel – Nifty and Acc – Nifty pairs at a profit. ACC, DLF have reached the top of the numeric rankings and confirms the action. Grasim  pushed higher to the top of the NR list and is the top potential underperformer stock for the weeks ahead, followed by the Hdbk and Itc. Sterlite, Icbk and M&M remain the top three potential outperformers.

The latest Alpha India carries numeric rankings, ranking changes, strategy update, long only – short only signals and pairs tracker.

ALPHA is a pair trading, long only – short only strategy and Numeric Ranking product based on TIME fractals. Time arbitrage, Time Triads, Time fractals are terms coined by Orpheus Research. The signals are carried over three different time frames viz. sub minor (2-3 days), minor (10-30 days) and intermediate (above 30 days). This is a daily signal product. The signals will be illustrated through tracker and running portfolios. Alpha can be used by fund managers for relative allocations, traders for leverage bets and high net worth clients for selective trades. This is a part of the time triads analytics developed by Orpheus Research.

TIME ARBITRAGE portfolio has 18 pairs CNXIT-NIFTY, RELIANCE-NIFTY, TCS-NIFTY, ONGC-NIFTY, INFOSYS-CNXIT, ONGC-RELIANCE, HDBK-ICBK, BHEL-ACC, GRAS-LNT, HLL-ITC, SBI-HDFC, NIFTY-STERLITE, NIFTY-HDBK, SBI-NIFTY, BHEL-NIFTY, NIFTY-ACC, TCS-CNXIT and SBI-HDBK. Minor degree averaged 10-30 days and intermediate degree trade averages above 30 days. The legs should be risk weighted before any implementation. We are assuming a running stop loss of 4% per traded pair. CNXIT/INFOSYS +A-B means LONG CNXIT, SHORT INFOSYS. While CNXIT/INFOSYS –A+B means SHORT CNXIT, LONG INFOSYS.

LONG ONLY, SHORT ONLY portfolio covers NIFTY, CNXIT, NSEBANK, RELIANCE, INFOSYS, ONGC, CIPLA, ICICI BANK, HDFC BANK, TISCO, BHEL, ACC, GRASIM, L&T, HLL, ITC, SBI, HDFC, STERLITE

STOP LOSS AND EXITS are activated at 4%

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.

*This is a strategy product. Long Short strategies are not riskless strategies. Please mail us for a detailed working or consult a local financial risk manager to execute these pairs. For more details please subscribe to the ORPHEUS TIME ANALYTICS research products.

Time is a social construct and we see time through the life and nature around us. Understanding time can not only give a unifying theory to research of a few thousand years, but also help us understand the world we live in. Time evolves, oscillates and continues. Time comes before everything, but we don’t see it. We just feel it. We believe what we see and this is why understanding what we don’t see is a challenge. Understanding time could bring more than a conventional thought down, it’s a revolution, which could rock the very foundation of economic thought or the geometric structures Euclid laid down in 300 BC. We are at the start of the journey, but if time is indeed the real mathematics, we could see high accuracy in time forecasts.

Econohistory is the study of performance cycles between assets. Cycles are the generic name for time fractals. Performance cycles can be studied for any time frame, for as small as a tick data to multiyear time frames. This objective approach to performance cyclicality can explain why intermarket analysis is an area of study? Why bonds and commodities tend to be inversely related? What is the connection of Oil with world markets? Why the world watches DOW sometimes and sometimes a 500 point effect on DOW seems to have no impact? Why correlation between assets moves from near perfect at times to weak correlation at other times? Why the same news has different impact on a stock or market? Why equities and bond trend together and why the relationship decouples sometime? When will inflation become deflation, disinflation, stagflation or hyperinflation? When and why does gold outperform and underperform silver? Econohistory can objectively answer these questions, using performance cycles, time fractals and past data.

Alpha.global.Indices – Short Hong Kong, long Dow delivers 17%

By Orpheus | Published: 21 February, 2010

The Dow performance cycles have turned lower. The Dow is set to underperform the S&P 500 and many other global benchmarks like Indian Sensex and Hong Kong Hang Seng. This is not very surprising as HSI and Sensex share a high correlation. Moreover Hang Seng has been underperforming DOW since May 2009. The Long Dow – short Hang Seng pair delivered 17% for the period. The polarity has reversed now and the running pair is Long Hang Seng – Short DOW.

There are more potential underperformers now. Maybe the net number of topping cycles compared to bottoming cycles might have some forecasting cues. Barring Sensex and Hang Seng most other global indices have falling performance cycles. The latest alpha carries numeric rankings, numeric ranking changes, alpha tracker, performance and pair cycles.

Alpha.metals – What is with Nickel?

By Orpheus | Published: 14 February, 2010

Financially strapped airlines cut back, postponed or cancelled orders for new aircraft, reducing demand for nickel based super alloys. In case of tin, the apparent consumption declined by 17% in 2009 compared to 2008. This was attributed to global economic slowdown. So if both metals were affected by the slowdown, how can we know which one will do better than the other? Performance cycles work across time frames and tell us how an asset is going to outperform the other. The demand – supply news should follow the cycle.

Long Nickel, short Tin delivered 15% since 14 Jan. The other running pairs are Long Silver – Short Gold, Long Silver – Short Copper. The respective pairs are still in negative territory. The anticipated reversals are in lead-Gold, Platinum-Gold and Palladium – Gold. The latest Alpha Metals carries numeric rankings, strategy update and performance cycles.

Time is a social construct and we see time through the life and nature around us. Understanding time can not only give a unifying theory to research of a few thousand years, but also help us understand the world we live in. Time evolves, oscillates and continues. Time comes before everything, but we don’t see it. We just feel it. We believe what we see and this is why understanding what we don’t see is a challenge. Understanding time could bring more than a conventional thought down, it’s a revolution, which could rock the very foundation of economic thought or the geometric structures Euclid laid down in 300 BC. We are at the start of the journey, but if time is indeed the real mathematics, we could see high accuracy in time forecasts.

Econohistory is the study of performance cycles between assets. Cycles are the generic name for time fractals. Performance cycles can be studied for any time frame, for as small as a tick data to multiyear time frames. This objective approach to performance cyclicality can explain why intermarket analysis is an area of study? Why bonds and commodities tend to be inversely related? What is the connection of Oil with world markets? Why the world watches DOW sometimes and sometimes a 500 point effect on DOW seems to have no impact? Why correlation between assets moves from near perfect at times to weak correlation at other times? Why the same news has different impact on a stock or market? Why equities and bond trend together and why the relationship decouples sometime? When will inflation become deflation, disinflation, stagflation or hyperinflation? When and why does gold outperform and underperform silver? Econohistory can objectively answer these questions, using performance cycles, time fractals and past data.

ORPHEUS RESEARCH AT REUTERS – USA

<strong>Alpha</strong> is a pair trading, long only – short only strategy and numeric ranking product based on TIME fractals. Time arbitrage, Time Triads, Time fractals are terms coined by Orpheus Research. The signals are carried over three different time frames viz. sub minor (2-3 days), minor (10-30 days) and intermediate (above 30 days). This is a daily signal product. The signals will be illustrated through tracker and running portfolios. Alpha can be used by fund managers for relative allocations, traders for leverage bets and high net worth clients for selective trades. This is a part of the time triads analytics developed by Orpheus Research.

<strong>Performance cycles</strong> 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.

<strong>Time Arbitrage</strong> portfolio has five pairs now viz. BRD-BET, BETXT-SNP, SIF2-SIF5, BRD-BETXT, BET-SNP. The above tracker will be updated on a daily basis. The freshly opened trades will have the shortest holding periods. Minor degree averaged 10-30 days and intermediate degree trade averages above 30 days. The legs should be risk weighted before any implementation. We are assuming a running stop loss of 2% per traded pair. SIF2/SIF5 +A-B means LONG SIF2, SHORT SIF5. While SIF2/SIF5 –A+B means SHORT SIF2, LONG SIF5.

Introducing Alpha Agro – Short Sweet, Long Corn

By Orpheus | Published: 11 February, 2010

Sweet corn is a variety of maize with a high sugar content and prepared as a vegetable. Cooked sweet corn has significant antioxidant activity, which has been suggested to reduce the chance of heart disease and cancer. A soup may also be made from the plant, called sweet corn soup.

The short sugar and long corn we are speaking about are tradable commodities as ETFs at London Stock Exchange. We are introducing ALPHA.AGRO today. The product covers all the top agro commodities viz. Wheat, Corn, cocoa, Sugar, Cotton, Coffee, Soybean, Soybean Oil and composite agricultural Indices. At Orpheus we have saying there is always a bull trend somewhere, this is not conventional thinking as the global community is focused on a few assets. Agro asset not only reduce portfolio risk but also are more tangible in value. To read more about the etf assets, visit www.etfsecurities.com. Launched in Sep 2006, these are award winning ETFs.

Long Agro Index and Short Soyabean Oil is a running pair. The latest update carries the numeric ranking, performance and pair cycles on the respective assets. Regarding the agro perspective, Cotton, Coffee, Soybean Oil, Wheat should continue to underperform the agro complex. While Sugar, Soybean are future potential outperformers for the intermediate weeks ahead. On the pair side we have 1: Long Cotton-Short Wheat, 2: Short Cotton – Long Sugar, 3: Short Wheat – Long Sugar and last but not the least 4: short sugar – long corn.
