Relative Strength Scatter Plot
By LuxAlgoFeb 6, 2024
Relative Strength Scatter Plot places user-selected symbols on a four-quadrant graph of comparative relative strength against momentum, both measured versus a benchmark of your choice. Inspired by relative rotation graphs, it shows at a glance which markets lead, which are fading, and which are quietly building strength.
How to Trade the Relative Strength Scatter Plot?
- Green quadrant: leading the benchmark, strong relative strength ratio with positive momentum.
- Yellow quadrant: still ahead on strength but momentum is decaying, leadership at risk.
- Blue quadrant: lagging in strength while momentum improves, candidates rotating toward leadership.
- Red quadrant: lagging on both counts, the weakest corner of the graph.
- Trails: each symbol drags a configurable history behind it, so you watch its rotation through the quadrants rather than a single snapshot.
The RS-Ratio starts from the symbol's strength relative to the benchmark, smoothed with a linearly weighted moving average, normalized against a second WMA, and scaled by 100. RS-Momentum is derived from the ratio between the RS-Ratio and its own WMA, again scaled by 100: position on the X-axis, its momentum on the Y-axis.
Relative Strength Scatter Plot Settings
- Calculation Window: the lookback used to compute the RS-Ratio and RS-Momentum metrics.
- Symbols: the tickers to plot, each line with its own visibility and color controls.
- Benchmark: the reference symbol, typically an index, that every computation compares against.
- Trail Length: how many historical data points each symbol displays.
- Resolution: the horizontal breadth of the graph.
