P&F Relative Strength Matrix

SCANNING   NOISELESS CHARTS

In an “arm-wrestling match” of symbols, one symbol competes against multiple others, revealing the location of superior performance. The RS Matrix quantifies the performance of that one symbol compared to the rest.

You can do the following with the RS Matrix . . .

• Create and scan chart pairs
• Plot chart pairs (ratio charts) or scan them using P&F parameters
• Build a Relative Strength Matrix of “n” number of symbols

With the RS Matrix, you can scan for the following . . .

• A symbol’s RS BUY signal vs the market – say, NIFTY
• A symbol’s RS column (X) vs the market – say, ICICIBANK/NIFTY
• A symbol’s RS BUY signal vs the peer group – say, BANKNIFTY
• A symbol’s RS column (X) vs the peer group – say, ICICIBANK/BANKNIFTY
• Overall trend of a symbol – is it trading above the 45 degree P&F Bullish Support Line?)

P&F Trend Matrix

SCANNING   NOISELESS CHARTS

The Trend Matrix is a modified version of the Relative Strength Matrix concept.

• Evaluate a symbol with multiple P&F parameters, and assign a weightage to each iteration of the P&F parameter used
• Rank the resultant output with a score . . .
  • Strong symbols (that are trending higher) have high scores
  • Weak symbols (typically the ones to avoid) have weak or negative scores
