SIMPLICITY

The Sector Timing Report was designed from the ground up to be simple and easy to use.  To follow it, you simply need to check it at most once per week.  2 or 3 minutes is all it will take to update you positions and stops.

LONG TERM FOCUS

We avoid the market noise and focus exclusively on the long term using weekly market data trends as the basis for our model computations.  This is also makes our model easy to use without the need for constant monitoring of the market.

RELATIVE RANKING DESIGN

The Sector Timing Report was designed to track and measure the strength of each sector and then to compare that strength against all other sectors in the market and provide an ongoing automatic ranking of the top ranking sectors.  The sectors and indexes powering market gains automatically rise in the rankings, all you do is remain invested in these rising sector.

SPOTTING A GOOD TREND

Our model defines a good trend as having an ACTIVE INDEX value greater than 50, a TREND INDEX that is greater than zero, and an ACCELERATION INDEX value that is also greater than zero.  We find this the most efficient way to identify and harvest good gains.

BUILDING A PORTFOLIO

Combine the top ranked sectors with positive acceleration index values.  The more you include, the greater the diversification.  Set your volatility stops and monitor each week.  Positions that are eventually closed out by reaching a volatility stop can be re-invested in a new top trending sector.

We have build 2 model portfolios using this concept and updates are made available to full subscription members only.

TREND INDEX - as sectors start to form a sustained upward trend this signal will be a positive value.  This is a longer term measure of sector trends.

ACTIVE INDEX - this is our flagship proprietary composite indicator that is the heart of our ranking report.  An intermediate trend is established when it rises above 50.  This composite index was designed to be a relative ranking index and allows you to compare the Active Index strength between all sectors and indexes.

ACCELERATION INDEX - this is measure of the acceleration in our composite ACTIVE INDEX.  Positive values mean the ACTIVE INDEX value is rising and is a sign of growing trend strength.  Negative values means the ACTIVE INDEX value is losing strength.

STOP - this is a trailing volatility stop. As the trendiness and volatility of a sector increases the stop is increased in relation to the overall volatility.  This allows you to capture more of a gain without prematurely stopping out, and also preserves most of your gain along the way (you can see the trailing volatility stop line below the stock chart). 

POINT A to POINT B - this chart nicely illustrates a 120% gain on the Brazilian index.  Point A was where Brazil ranked high in the Active Index, with positive Acceleration and Trend Indexes.  Point B was the point where the trailing volatility stop indicated it was time to take a profit.
