The HeadsUp.ini script also uses the same indicator.


The Metastock formula is:

RsiSto.ini ranks any family of funds based on RsiSto and uses FamPrint()to show the results including
the 6 day change in RsiSto. Beasley recommends that funds with a negative 6d change be excluded from new purchases. Also included are current values of fund 1d Roc, 5d Roc, 18d Roc, and RelStDev. SPX is used as the comparison index over one year in RelStdev.

Roc = Rate Of Change or Percent Gain/Loss.
RelStDev = Relative Standard Deviation.
SPX = The SP-500 Index.

Last but not least is a trading strategy using ExprFamilyTrade. Three RsiSto top ranked funds are purchased one day after RUTTR.sig turns positive and sold one day after it turns negative. RsiSto rank is the only criteria used for fund purchases. The $FAMAGR family is used in the first ExprFamilyTrade example. A STOCK family is used in the second example below.

 

NOTE: Switching to a top ranked fund is permitted between RUTTR signals after a 20 day hold period if a fund falls below 86th position in rank. If youdon't care to switch between signals, don't. For the purpose of this analysis,the TRADE script is written so as NOT to permit switching between signals.

 

Results from 12/30/94 to 3/1/00 are:

Switching NO: Ann 61.2%, Mdd 7.8%

This oscillator can also be used for determining market health. Major market declines have never occured since 1987 when RsiSto of SPX, OTC, or RUT were above 20.

 

The bad news is OTC could fall 33% and still show a gain from the last time it went 25% above the SMA last November.

 

Date > 25% +1 mo +2 mo +3 mo +6 mo Wks to fall to 200 SMA

5/2/67 -0.4% 4.7% 9.9% 12.4% 44
11/5/82 6.0 4.2 10.8 32.9 50
4/12/91 -1.5 -2.1 -1.8 2.9 61
1/6/99 2.2 3.1 10.9 19.4 60 and still going
11/16/99 12.8 25.4 34.6 na 15 and still going

Prior to now, the highest OTC got above the SMA was 32% on 5/9/83.
This was less than a month from the OTC peak on 6/24/83. After that it was mostlydown hill until mid-1984. 
The good news is, RsiSto fell below zeroin 7/14/83, only about 4% below the peak.
A nice warning to exit the market.

SPX < 0 on 9/4/87 and > +10 on 12/18/87, avoiding a 21.3% loss.
OTC < 0 on 9/16/87 and > +20 on 12/22/87, avoiding a 25.8% loss.
RUT < 0 on 9/8/87 and > +10 on 12/21/87, avoiding a 28.1% loss.
PSE < 0 on 9/16/87 and > +40 on 12/23/87, avoiding a 24.5% drop.
NDX < 0 on 9/16/87 and > +30 on 12/21/87, avoiding a 22.5% drop.

A Print() table is included below showing RsiSto for several indexes forthe past several days. Of course, best market gains are made when RsiStois rising.

 

I did some more testing on RsiSto and found that the Tech indexes, PSE- and NDX-X need to stay above 30 to 40 to be really safe from a MAJOR EVENT.

 

My data for tech and small-cap indexes is limited but the nearest comparison to the current bull run that I can find is 1982-83. That run ended in July '83 just like this one probably will due to rising interest rates.

 

RsiSto oscillator did a great job of signaling the end in 1983 and hopefully it will do it in 2000 with just a 5% drawdown.
