Transports Reverse Up Signal

Dean Christians
2021-08-17
The S&P 1500 transportation industry group registered a reverse-up signal at the close of trading on 8/16/21. Let's review the forward return outlook for the group and the broad market.

The S&P 1500 Transportation Industry Group registered a reverse-up buy signal at the close of trading on 8/16/21. If you recall, the reverse-up concept identifies when an asset closes at a 1-month low and reverses higher to close at a 1-month high in less than ten trading days. If you're interested in reading the original concept note, please click here.

While I monitor the concept for alerts across a broad basket of securities, I closely watch a handful of cyclical industries that provide an important economic message. The transports are one of those groups.

Today's note aims to review the outlook for the transportation industry group after a reverse-up signal and assess the overall market message.

HOW THE SIGNALS PERFORMED

Performance looks good in the short term, especially the 1-week results. 

Let's apply the same signals to the S&P 500 to assess the outlook for the broad market.

HOW THE SIGNALS PERFORMED - S&P 500

While the results look pretty good for the broad market, I would note that the transports provide a better opportunity.

Let's include some additional parameters to identify other historical instances that look similar to the current pattern. We will require that the transports have not made a new high in more than 2-months, and when a signal occurs, the industry is trading down greater than 5% but less than 15% from a 252-day high. i.e., a consolidation with similar parameters to the current pattern.

HOW THE SIGNALS PERFORMED

The results continue to look good in the short term, even though none of the timeframes showed a notable z-score. However, the consistency of the signal improved across several windows.

Let's apply the same signals to the S&P 500 Index

HOW THE SIGNALS PERFORMED - S&P 500

While not detrimental, the short-term results are less favorable.

Given today's study results, one could argue that transports outperform in the short-term as the broad market takes a breather.

In my original reverse-up concept note, I shared a real-time signal for the S&P 1500 water utilities sub-industry group. If you were wondering how that signal is performing, please see below.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
