    Note:

    T (Topping): Leading Leaders.(LDLD)

    A (Advancing): Lagging Leaders (LGLD)

    E (Emerging): Leading Laggards (LDLG)

    R (Reversing): Lagging Laggards.(LGLG)

    The numbers in parentheses (1-2-3) are one-month, two-month, and three-month terms.

    The overall markets (DJIA, S&P 500, or NASDAQ) have their cycles. Individual securities (ETFs or Stocks) have also their own cycles given the market cycles. In general, all securities in The TANER System (20 ETFs and 40 stocks) show their own cycles from R to E to A to T to R and so on, but majority securities (60% of ETFs and 80% of stocks are in N (Neutral, meaning residual). Therefore all securities do not show any pattern. When any of your holding has T or R momentum, you pay your particular attention.

    Introduction

    O. Young Kwon, NYU Ph.D. (Economics) had worked in securities industry for ten years as a Registered Investment Adviser. In 2009 he set up the TANER System in order to synthesize performances and relative strengths of 20 ETFs and 40 equities thoroughly. The System captures dynamics of momentum changes of individual securities on the daily basis. The System also builds successfully their momentum trends over time.

    How to Use TANER Momentum (TM)

    Every marketday buys, sells, or exchanges (among mutual funds) can be made by TM. All trades except exchanges are posted on StockTalks to share these trades with you. For options players (for me options are excluded) call/put positions can be taken. My experience for three years propose following two Risk/Reward Tables: The Long-Term RR (LTRR) Table and The Short-Term RR (STRR) Table. . Please use this as a guide.

    LTRR (For Long-Term Investors)

    TANER

    RISKREWARD
    T (TOPPING)HIGHERLOWER
    A (ADVANCING)HIGHLOW
    n (neutral)averageaverage
    E (EMERGING)LOWHIGH
    R (REVERSING)LOWERHIGHER

    Try Advancing (A) and Emerging (E) TM.

    STRR (For Near-Term Traders)

    TANERRISKREWARD
    T (TOPPING)HIGHERHIGHER
    A (ADVANCING)HIGHHIGH
    n (neutral)averageaverage
    E (EMERGING)LOWLOW
    R (REVERSING)LOWERLOWER

    Try Advancing (A) or Topping (T) TM. When a very near term (i.e. daytrading), Topping (T) TM.

    What for R (Reversing)? These TM are useful either for your exits of any holding or your bets in a stable upswing. Sometime R gives you a big gain.

    T (Topping) sometimes help you to take gains with the intraday 5%+ rule.

  • The Daily Market Condition

    The RED Indicator (Rotation/Equity Diffusion Index, a Depth Gauge) and The RED Spread Indicator (a Breadth Gauge). These two indicators can examine the market condition properly. (The RED Indicator and The RED Spread indicator were introduced in my article. Link:www.seekingalpha.com/article/817551)

    The Daily Market Condition (DMC) (May 20, 2013 Monday)

    The Data Points on May 17, 2013 (Friday):

    The RED = 59.3. It's Warm, by maintaining above 50%.

    The RED Spread = 4.1 The signal remains to be bullish

    On Friday the RED Spread fell to 4.1 from 4.6 on Thursday. It is a right direction because it moved DOWN on the current upswing, started from August 28, 2012.The normal inverse relationship between the RED Spread (REDS} (the Bond Premium in terms of diffusion index) and the 10-year Treasury yield is ON for 11 days of out of last 14 days, meaning that the market condition was normal, as shown in the near table.

    The current 10-year Treasury yield at 1.949% is higher than 1.63% at a market trough on August 28, but it is lower than 2.24% at a market peak on April 4. It means that a peak seems to be near but can not determine yet. A stream of spillovers from the Treasury market is still expected, but less powerful than before. This is a main force of the current sustainable upswing.

    The market signal is bullish because the 10-yeare Treasury yield is bullish, and the RED Spread showed a double trough on 8/28/2012 and on 5/3/2013 (Friday). This unusual strong bullish signal reflects the market intervention of Fed with QE3, meaning the low yield due to the bond purchasing programs.
