GA - Comparative Relative Strength

2019年7月21日

GA - Comparative Relative Strength is an Oscillator. It shows the Relative Strength of a Financial Instrument.

It defines the Relative Strength in relation to Markets, Sectors, Sub-sectors ETFs. Besides, it includes also Currency Indices and the manual selection of Financial Instruments.


Groups of ETFs and Manual Selection

You enable the Group of Financial Instruments that collects the ETF in your interest. Besides, you can enable more that one group. This lets you show Relative Strength Curves related to ETFs of the groups selected.

For example, it can show the Relative Strength related to Market and Sector ETFs. Besides, you can show the Relative Strength related to Sector and Industry ETFs.

The Groups of ETFs are SPDR Categories:

• SPDR Core ETFs.
  
• SPDR Select Sector ETFs.
  
• SPDR Industry ETFs.
  

An extra group includes Currency Indices.


Oscillator around Zero

The Relative Strength of 2 Financial Instruments waves around a borderline. This line is a mean. The GA - Comparative Relative Strength normalizes the curve to the borderline. This makes an Oscillator around Zero.


Upper and Lower Bands

Upper and Lower Bands can follow the full curve. But you can Enable or Disable the visualization of Partial Bands. They follow the curve only for positive waves or for negative waves.

Bands are dynamic levels. Their role is to define where the Relative Strength becomes relevant or normal. When the Relative Strength persists above the Upper Band, Financial Instrument is strong. When the Relative Strength persists below the Lower Band, Financial Instrument is weak.

The Upper and Lower Bands are relevant tools in the decision process to enter the market long or short.

You need to buy Financial Instrument that is outperforming the related market. In the same way, short/sell financial instruments that are under-performing the marketplace.

A Relative Strength that decreases below the Upper Band shows a weakening. A Relative Strength that increases above the Lower Band shows a reinforcement. These indications can precede an eventual change of sentiment of large investors.


Currency Indices

The difficult part is when you want to define the Relative Strength of a Currency Pair. In this case, you can compare a pair with a group of other related pairs. In the same way, you can try to use a Currency Index or a specific calculation.

The use of a Currency Index shows limitations to define the Relative Strength in a proper way.

But an expert trader can define it in different ways so as with different tools. Besides, an expert trader knows the pairs included in the currency index. Moreover, he knows the formula and the weights of the currency pairs included in the index.

The GA - Comparative Relative Strength gives you a collection of Currency Indices. You can enable it and use the Currency Index you need.


Note: I restrict access to the tool.
