Sector Rotation Indicator for ThinkorSwim

Sector Rotation involves shifting investments to sectors expected to outperform, optimizing returns based on market conditions.

It's for the visual learner like me. Take a look at that chart on a weekly TF and you'll see the Rotation. I would move money into what is moving up and rotating out of what is dropping.

Once the top sectors are found, you would then look for stocks in that sector that are leading and place your trade according to your style.

@diazlaz See if this concept is workable. Idealy, to me, SPY should be at ==0 with the others rotating around it. Thoughts?

Hi, very remarkable style of graph but I have a simple question for those more experienced on sector rotation: how the information it provides can help to make money decisions that can also be done on simple individual technical analysis? to me it only makes sense to look at it collectively if i would need to choose only 1 or 2 candidates of the 9 candidates to bet on like in a horse track selecting the fastest candidate. I would appreciate if anyone here can tell me if there is other type of consideration that might make this useful?

The reason I am asking this is because along the years I have looked for many indicators that can compensate my lack of visual perception to make money decisions and my mind is overcrowded with possibilities though I know only a few indicators are needed and the rest just creates noise that can do more harm than good.
 
Hi @apdusp it's for the visual learner like me. Take a look at that chart on a weekly TF and you'll see the Rotation. I would move money into what is moving up and rotating out of what is dropping. That chart is not finished however, it still needs more makeup & purty labels. It definitely is too noisy on a daily time frame. Ideally, this is a starting point, from here I would go to the leading sector and find the leading stocks. Good Question.
 
Pretty cool idea. I have nothing useful to add, other than this picture. Changed the lines to histogram style bars and it lets you view it kind of like a Thermo mode, it makes it a little easier for me to visualize this way. I might change the coloring a bit also to make each sector a little easier to identify while hovering over them. I know in the screenshot the labels appear to be blocking the top right corner, however if I put my mouse there they disappear and I can see it.

Edit: thank you for posting this sir!

This is the original coloring I only changed PaintingStatagey to Histogram
This was done on stoch1 through stoch9

Also please note in my screenshots above the White and Black lines I thought were Beta1 and Beta2, However I had just forgotten to change two of the stoch lines to the Histogram PaintingStratagey.

This is very good. I am trying to verify the strategy. how to you take trades based on the chart and what is the time frame you use.

Example: 10Day/Day chart shows Utility/Staples on Top with Money flow Technology and Industrial shows at bottom.

so do you take Call on Utility and Staples? What is the best time frame in your view?

Please share results if you have back test any strategy
 
In the first picture I was on a 1 year / 1 day time frame. In that time frame each vertical bar is one day so really you would want to focus on the bar farthest to the right for the current day. Which looking back at the picture and using the farthest right bar I see the same indication as the 10 day / 1day chart.

I only posted the pictures to show an alternative way to view the data, but I do not know the best timeframe to view this on.
 
Hi @2sureshk Here at useThinkScript we don't generally give advice. This is not a strategy or an indicator.

That said, this was created as a way to find sector rotation. Once the top sectors are found, you would then look for stocks in that sector that are leading and place your trade according to your style.

We do not want to put the SPX price on the chart because 0 to 1 == worst performing to best performing sectors
I hope that helps.

thank you for the inputs .. I am looking for people experience on the usage . I have one finding that when a particular sector 1 or on top the Calls or up move is very quick and it seems to be profitable. If anyone experience the the same or feel fee to differ

thx

@mn88 Please help with XLRE real estate sector s also
 
My "cleaned up" version, that's easier on the eye ... at least my eye.

It also throws a label up whenever the Sector crosses 0.95 or 0.05.
