RS Line - Gauge Performance vs Index

10 thg 1, 2021

Overview:
This implementation of the RS Line mimics how Investor's Business Daily and CANSLIM investors measure growth stock performance versus the S&P 500.

If you are looking at a weekly chart, the RS Line is the performance of the stock over the past week versus the S&P 500 over that same time frame. The same logic applies to the daily and monthly charts, only the time frames are different.

If a stock moves up for the day/week/month and the S&P 500 does not, the RS Line will move up. If a stock ends the day/week/month flat, yet the S&P 500 moves up, the RS Line will go down.

Usage:
- Look for an upward sloping line.
- The steeper the line, the better.
- Can be used for viewing long-term trend.

v5 version updates:

One helpful tool when viewing an RS Line is to use a trendline, which can provide insight into the bigger picture performance of a stock versus the S&P 500. With this release of the RS Line you can now configure two trendlines that will be drawn for you, based on the criteria you specify.

The trendlines will be colored green or red based on the direction of the trend. You can also configure how far to look-back for each line, providing information for both short-term and long-term traders. For example, if you set a trendline look-back to 10, it will look back 10 days on a daily chart, 10 weeks on a weekly chart, etc

The configurable trendlines offer the following features:

■ Trendlines can be used on any timeframe
■ Trendlines are automatically colored based on the direction:
green for uptrend, red for downtrend
■ Plot up to two trendlines
■ Trendline width can be adjusted
■ Configurable look-back values

Two examples are shown below: APPL and CRSR

Historical research of past big winners has shown that an RS Line at a new high before the price reaches a new high, may proceed a significant move up. This bullish signal is now much easier to identify.

Example #1 - Microsoft in 1986

Over approximately 8 months, MSFT was up over 200% before a decisive close below the 50-day SMA.





Example #2 - OKTA in 2020

A more recent example is OKTA. In just 5 months there was a 50% move up before closing below the 50-day SMA.
