I was exploring a simple idea how I can visualize the ticker performance against the underlying Index (or any other ticker) performance.
how it works: When the line is moving up (blue zone), the ticker is performing better than the underlying index (e.g. SPX)(configurable). When the line is moving down (red zone), the ticker is performing worse than the underlying index.
How to use it: Use as confirmation always in conjunction with other (main) indicators, avoid "buy" when indicator is in the red zone Also, crossing over the zero line is often an indication for an upcoming upward move Try to different SMA length - default is 20 but 10 was often showing better results
