Telecoms and consumer services are in the outperformance quadrant. Consumer goods is appoaching the outperforming quadrant, while financials are apporoaching the underperformance. Industrials and property have low momentum and are underperforming the Allshare index. Interpretation: Note that each symbol on the chart is plotted as a dot with a tail extending backwards. The tail shows you the history of the symbol's position in the past. Each dot on each symbol's tail represents one period, in this case a week. The large dot at the end of the tail represents the current relative momentum values for that ticker symbol and the colour represents the current quadrant it finds itself in. There are four quadrants on the chart: Leading (Green) - strong relative strength and strong momentum Weakening (Yellow) - strong relative strength but weakening momentum Lagging (Red) - weak relative strength and weak momentum Improving (Blue) - weak relative strength but improving momentum Typically, indices progress through the quadrants in a clockwise manner. 13
Interpretation: The longer the tail, the bigger the move and higher the volatility. The further the index is from the benchmark (the cross hairs) the bigger the move in relative performance (up or down) RS-Ratio (relative strength) is more important than RS-Momentum The rotational patterns are not always perfectly circular and will not always rotate through all four quadrants in a clockwise manner. These are, after all, financial markets driven by fear and greed. In general, a cross from the left half to the right half signals a new uptrend in relative performance. This means RS-Ratio has moved above 200. Conversely, a cross from the right half to the left half signals a new downtrend in relative performance. This means RS-Ratio has moved below 200. The underlying trend-following model that powers RRG includes a lag period, as do all trendfollowing models. This means there will already be upward movement in the price relative before the RRG line actually crosses into the leading quadrant. Similarly, the price relative will peak and move lower before the RRG line actually crosses into the lagging quadrant. Symbols in the leading quadrant should be on your buy list because they show relative strength. Symbols in the weakening quadrant should be on your watch-list for deterioration. Symbols in the lagging quadrant should be on your avoid list because they show relative weakness. Symbols in the improving quadrant should be on your shopping list as potential buys. RRGs separate the market leaders from the market laggards and therefore great for channeling your attention to those areas of the market that deserve it. Keep in mind that these are relative performance indicators, and there is still a risk that the rotation turns back or even reverses.
