Relative rotation of two securities using normalized roofing filters.

Usage

Use to detect and trade rotation between two correlated assets. When one asset leads and the other lags, the indicator signals a rotation trade opportunity.

Background

Pairs Rotation analysis measures the relative cycle phase between two correlated assets. When one asset is at a cycle peak while its correlated partner is at a trough, a statistical rotation trade can be placed — long the laggard, short the leader — anticipating mean reversion of the spread.

Parameters

  • hp_len (default: 125): HighPass filter length
  • lp_len (default: 20): LowPass (SuperSmoother) length

Formula

[ Filt = SuperSmoother(HighPass(Price, HPLen), LPLen) ] [ MS = 0.0242 \cdot Filt^2 + 0.9758 \cdot MS_{t-1} ] [ Normalized = \frac{Filt}{\sqrt{MS}} ]
