What is RELATIVE STRENGTH?

Relative strength is a strategy used in momentum investing and in identifying value stocks.

It focuses on investing in stocks or other investments that have performed well relative to the market as a whole or to a relevant benchmark.

For example, a relative strength investor might select technology companies that have outperformed the Nifty50, or the Nifty 500.

In setting use 65 period
3/n

Formula for Rs
Using 65 as period and base as NiftyOne can use 123 or 250 as period depending upon your time frame of holding
If your view is short term then 65 works great and mid to long term can use 123 and 250 .

Why to Use RS ?
Helps to filter out stocks in good momentum and that are giving better returns than nifty
These stocks tend to outperform the market.
These are potentially superstocks

65 period signifies 3 months of trading
In 3 months we have around 65 trading days

How does RELATIVE STRENGTH look ?

0 line that helps to differentiate between underperformer and outperformer
>1 Outperforming the markets
<0 Underperforming the markets
When 65 RS Goes above 2 its too much heated and generally goes into consolidation or pullback

S&P500 Vs Nifty

NIFTY INFRA vs NIFTY 50 VS NIFTY psu
The Highlighted part means that
Nifty Infra is outperforming the nifty 50 index in that period but underperforming the Psu bank index
That indirectly means that psubanks have outperformed both nifty and nifty infra and hence is the strongest

You can Compare any Asset with any other asset by changing the comparative symbol
You can use CNX IT , PHARMA , INFRA to compare your stocks to specific Sector

Points to remember :
Key point: Relative Strength tends to select high beta or low beta stocks, depending on the market trend.
When that trend undergoes a major reversal, Relative Strength will see its peak underperformance.
Because tops and bottoms are sharp and quick.

Technical Test given to followers to select the best stock

A) outperformer as + RS
B) and C) At support and hence most chose that as an answer as swing trading bet
Over the next 10 days
A) JSL HISAR gave a + Return of 18%
22/n

Immediately the stock A) gave 6%+ Returns while other stocks closed in red
Even though a stock is trading at support doesn’t means its bound to rise
A stock with Positive RS will move faster than a stock with –Ve RS
That is OUTPERFORMANCE we are talking about
