Quote from PTVtrader:
Hi Jack,
Happy New Year! Do you have a a one pager on SSR trading as part of the PEP. Thanks
Yes. I'm sorry I am so far behind here.
Here is an overview:
Sector Rotation is the theme.
All sectors have leaders and laggers.
In some of the top sectors their are "growth stocks" that show stellar projections. At least 15 that show 250%/yr growth.
They "cycle' as well but on a slower fractal than position trading high QA stocks that are found on the PVT Universe.
The money aspect and factors.
Money is being swept from other trading applications all stemming from the PEP paradigm and its HS and PM's. Roughly over time the SCT trading capacity is met and that stream is swept weeky into the PVT which grows to 12 streams and a 100,000 share per strean capaicty limit. Currently, the Universe for PVT is running in the neighborhood of 40 stocks. these are perilous times. This, about 25 million dollar limit is then swept into the SSR where unlimited capital may be applied on the slower fractal. PVT partial fills, at capacity, are about 20 going in and 30 coming out. thsi is corssover trading using partial fills.
In SSR the fractal is a 4 1/2 week fractal, roughly. Events are the independnet variable as usual and NOT time. Trades can be as frequent as 4 1/2 days when trading this fractal point to poiint (vis a vis price points). as usual volume telegraphs price as a leading indicator.
Sector rotation is done using 197 sectors. as expected they move before price changes. In the gap from signal to movement, you check through the sector leaders and laggers and monitor leaders to trade laggers. Agian it is like using leading indicators as signal generators for trading price moves. Partial fills take days since block size on the T&S dictates partial fill size.
the best measure of sectrs is the IBD rating system Use it in an identical way as scoring uses the A/D IBD scoring. The A's are only the top two and the D's are all the others. The bias is to quality.
This replaces both hedgefund investing or mutual fund investing and is done are slow trading rather than investing. The CW of the financial industry works off forms of regression , chaos and NN stuff. None of these deal with taking the market's offer. Taking the market's offer is event based as explained in Behavioral Finance. (go to web site). the concept of pre, event and post gives you a triad of signals and you use those to prep, act and confirm as you do the partial fills over the days.
SSR has the same advantages as PVT and SCT in using the one pattern of the market. Luckily not many participants can find the pattern anything but "unbelievable". It is not that this approach "needs" such a great advantege but is is true that front running the HERD always a huge mathematical expectancy.
again we stay out of probabilistic information theory and use non probabiltiy associated with the "order of events" that form the basis of the pattern. This make events the independent variable and NOT time. Again finite mathe prevails and everything is logic based using binary vectors.
This is an example of how being in the minority which run the markets is an advantage.
