The Idea Behind Market Regimes

We always compare investing with sailing. On a beautiful day, navigating a ship is a simple and enjoyable task. When market conditions are favorable, it is easy to pick the right security as the tide lifts all boats.

However, just like the weather at sea can change rapidly, market conditions can also shift unpredictably, causing years of gains to be wiped out, often within a few days. Even the concept of diversification could falter in certain market environments. As a result, skillfully avoiding unfavorable market regimes becomes paramount for long-term success.

Market Regime Weather Map (delayed - for demonstration purposes only)

Market regime refers to a specific condition of an underlying financial market that is characterized by certain risk/reward characteristics. These market regimes are identified based on various indicators covering trends, trend quality, smart-/dumb money and investor sentiment. Understanding and adapting to these unique attributes is crucial for successful navigation and decision-making in the investing landscape.

The Process Beyond Market Regimes

Market regimes are built upon market indicator signals, categorized into trend, trend quality, and sentiment indicators. These signals are then organized by different timeframes (ranging from short- to long-term) and aggregated into Market Health Indicators, assessing the underlying technical condition for given time horizons.

By combining short- to mid-term and mid-term to long-term Market Health Indicator readings, the specific market regime is determined. The Tactical Market Regime is constructed upon the combination of short- to mid-term market health, while the Strategic Market Regime is based on the combination of mid- to long-term market health. This information is valuable for both short-term traders (Tactical Market Regime) and buy-and-hold oriented investors (Strategic Market Regime), aiding them in making informed decisions based on market conditions.

The Process Beyond Market Regimes Score Boards

Market regimes are built upon market indicator signals, categorized into trend, trend quality, and sentiment indicators. These signals are then organized by different timeframes (ranging from short- to long-term) and aggregated into Market Health Indicators, assessing the underlying technical condition for given time horizons. Scores on a scale of 0 to 100% represent the positivity of signals within the respective timeframe. A threshold of 50% is used to distinguish positive and negative scores. Scores below 50% indicate a negative outlook, signifying potential market weaknesses. Conversely, scores above 50% indicate positive market health, signaling favorable conditions.

Modified MACD (delayed - for demonstration purposes only)

This is one of the many indicators we offer for analyzing market regimes across multiple markets.

Measures short-term trend momentum by comparing two exponential zero-lag moving averages of different time periods. In a strong short-term trend, the shorter-term moving average should show a faster rise or fall than the longer-term moving average.

  • Positive: Short-Term MACD Line ≥ Long-Term MACD Line
  • Negative: Short-Term MACD Line < Long-Term MACD Line

CoT Regime Score Board (delayed - for demonstration purposes only)

Rank table showcasing key components used to identify current market regimes of futures markets based on CoT-Smart Money positions, along with a proprietary momentum score to assess trend direction and strength.

The Commitment of Traders (COT) report is a weekly publication that provides insights into the positions of different types of traders in futures markets. It categorizes traders as commercial (considered “Dumb Money”), non-commercial (such as hedge funds, seen as “Smart Money”), and small traders (“Dumb Money”). Empirical evidence supports the idea that “Smart Money” has an informational edge and leads trends, while “Dumb Money” lags.

Market Regimes are determined by analyzing net Smart Money Positions relative to their maximum positions within three different timeframes (CoT Index). CoT Index values on a scale of 0 to 100% represent the positivity of signals within the respective timeframe. The scoreboard utilizes stars for each market’s smart money positions (up to 4 stars maximum) to enhance readability. By combining short- to mid-term and mid-term to long-term Smart Money Positions, the specific market regime is determined. This information is valuable for both short-term traders and buy-and-hold investors, helping them make informed decisions based on market conditions.
