About Sector Rotation Monitor

What Is Sector Rotation Monitor?

Sector Rotation Monitor is a professional-grade analytical platform that tracks relative strength across 10 asset universes, from US sectors, industries, and factor ETFs to global markets, Europe, the UK, commodities, bonds, and crypto. Every ETF and every holding ranked and scored daily.

Premium also includes AI Screen Builder, which turns a screen you describe in your own words into the screener's filters and a Trading Journal for keeping a record of your own trades.

Anyone with a free account can take our free course, Swing Trading from the Top Down: ten short lessons on reading the market, then sectors, then stocks, using the pages on this site.

It answers one question every active investor asks: "Where is the money flowing right now?"

The Problem

Most relative-strength and momentum screening tools focus exclusively on US equities. They help you find strong stocks, but they don't tell you whether you should be in stocks at all, or whether bonds, commodities, or international markets are leading. And they rarely connect the dots between what's rotating and why.

To get a complete picture, traders typically juggle multiple subscriptions. One tool for RS screening, another for macro data, another for charting, and yet another for sentiment. That's expensive, fragmented, and slow.

Why Sector Rotation?

Sector rotation isn't a new idea. The relationship between economic cycles and sector performance has been studied since at least the 1850s, and the National Bureau of Economic Research has documented consistent patterns across every business cycle since then. The core insight is simple: different sectors lead at different stages of the cycle, and these shifts are broadly predictable. Energy and commodities tend to outperform late in an expansion; consumer staples and utilities hold up best in downturns; technology and cyclicals lead early recoveries.

Rather than looking at individual stocks in isolation, sector rotation looks at where the macro tailwind is strongest. Practitioners like Stan Weinstein, John Murphy, and Fidelity's research team have all written about aligning a portfolio with the prevailing cycle stage, and with relative-strength leaders within the strongest sectors.

That's what this platform is built to help you do.

How We're Different

  • Top-down, not bottom-up: we start with "which asset classes and sectors are leading?" then let you drill into individual holdings. Rotation-first, not stock-first.
  • Multi-asset in one dashboard: equities, bonds, commodities, global markets, and crypto ranked on the same RS framework. No need to switch between platforms.
  • Macro-aware: economic regime detection, a 26-component macro health score, SPY sentiment and US size and style are layered on top of RS rankings, so you see not just what is rotating but why.
  • All-in-one: RS rankings, regime analysis, multi-factor stock scoring, entry signals, MA trend confirmation, options sentiment, an options chain explorer, and macro indicators, without stitching together multiple subscriptions.
  • AI that only sets filters: AI Screen Builder turns your words into the screener's own filters, which you can see and change. It never picks, ranks or describes a stock: the list is the screener's, from our data.
  • Everything in one place: look at the option chain for any stock you are studying, filter it your way, and see each contract's payoff, breakeven and maximum loss.

Methodology

Our core ranking engine uses Relative Strength analysis, based on the Mansfield RS methodology popularised by Stan Weinstein in Secrets for Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets. We calculate RS across multiple timeframes (1 week to 12 months), combine them into a weighted composite score, and rank every ETF and stock against its benchmark.

On top of relative strength, we layer:

  • Multi-horizon rank deltas: every ETF and crypto row shows three rank-momentum columns side-by-side: Δ1d / Δ3d / Δ5d on the daily view and Δ1w / Δ4w / Δ13w on the weekly view. Lets you separate one-day noise from multi-week conviction in a single glance. Green arrows for names climbing the rankings, red for names falling out of favour.
  • Holdings screener: drill into any ETF to find the strongest stocks by RS ranking
  • Regime detection: moving-average breadth analysis to classify markets as bull, defensive, or bear
  • Market Conditions: a daily US-market verdict under US Economy → Market Conditions. Seven weighted lights (Trend 25% · Breadth 15% · Distribution 15% · Macro 15% · Volatility 10% · Credit 10% · Internals 10%) composite into a 0-100 score and a position-sizing bucket (Full / Standard / Half / Quarter / Cash) with day-over-day delta, a slow-moving "how much capital to deploy" gauge that sits above the daily SPY sentiment tape and the 4-quadrant Rotation Regime.
  • Rotation regime: a 4-quadrant economic cycle model (Recovery, Expansion, Recession, Inflation) driven by ETF-based growth and inflation momentum
  • SPY sentiment (CSI): a 6-component composite index of SPY-derived signals (VIX, vol term-structure, directional volume, put/call, breadth, credit) with contrarian alerts
  • US Size and Style: are small companies or big companies rising faster, and value stocks (cheaper, steadier companies such as banks and energy) or growth stocks (faster growing companies such as big tech)? It compares each pair of funds over a week, a month and three months and gives the answer in plain words. Two more rows show whether recent winners (momentum) and jumpy stocks (high beta) are ahead. Free, under US Economy → Size and Style.
  • Macro economic indicators (MEI): 24 FRED economic series plus 2 market series (GDP, unemployment, CPI, consumer confidence, and more) composited into a single economic health score
  • Stock Score (SS): multi-factor stock ranking combining Quality, Value, and Momentum into a composite percentile score (0-100), with Growth tracked separately
  • Master Rank (MR): one worldwide percentile from 1 to 99 that blends four equal parts, Quality Rank (QR), Strength Rank (SR, relative price strength), Trend Rank (TR, technical trend quality) and Industry Group Rank (IGR), with each stock first compared with its own country. Designed for one-screen “is this name an A-grade setup?” triage.
  • Industries view: every industry ranked by its Industry Group Rank, worldwide or by region, with the ETF that tracks it. Each industry with at least 4 companies also shows its place on the Rotation Board. Open an industry to see its stocks ranked by Master Rank, so the best stocks in the best industries are one tap away.
  • Rotation Board: every market on one 4 by 4 board. Rows show where each ETF's relative strength sits today; columns show which way its trend has moved over about a month. Each box says in plain words whether the two readings agree.
  • Emerging Leaders Rotation: an early-rotation radar that maps every ETF onto a relative-strength × momentum quadrant (Accelerating, Recovering, Fading, Declining). A significance-tested emerging score surfaces the names climbing the relative-strength ladder fastest, smoothly, and with room to run, spotting emerging leaders before they reach the top of the rankings.
  • Entry timer signals: multi-timeframe momentum indicators for intraday long/short entries
  • MA meter: moving-average status across up to 7 timeframes for trend confirmation
  • Trade management overlays: ATR-based stop-loss levels (1.5× ATR) and extension readings (Ext%, distance from the 20-day MA in ±ATR units) shown directly in the holdings table to show how stretched a stock is and where a volatility-based stop level would sit
  • Options sentiment: put/call ratios and flow analysis for contrarian positioning signals
  • Breakout Alerts: get notified the day your watchlist stocks break out: 52-week highs, Donchian channel breakouts and 200-day moving-average reclaims. Fresh alerts are bundled into one daily email and an in-app alerts inbox, with quiet-hours controls so you only hear about the moves that matter.
  • News + social-media sentiment: a 0-100 composite for every ETF and US stock, blending recent article tone, daily aggregated sentiment, the share of positive stories, and an article-volume amplifier. Each ticker opens a scorecard with a 30-day trend, the latest headlines, and links to live news feeds. Refreshed daily at 05:00 UTC from aggregated news and social-media data.
  • Bubble Risk (BR): a 0-100 score built on the Log-Periodic Power Law (LPPL) model of Didier Sornette, fitted to each asset's price history. Rather than measuring momentum, it gauges how close a move is to a model-implied critical time (turning point): green is early / no bubble, amber is building, and red flags a late-stage move, with ▲ marking a rising (positive) bubble and ▼ an anti-bubble. Every cell opens a full scorecard with the LPPL fit, the estimated critical window, fit confidence, and a news-volume amplifier, designed as a confluence signal, not a standalone trigger.
  • Advanced screener: 60+ filterable fields including performance periods (1W-YTD), Ichimoku cloud, candlestick patterns, pivot points, analyst consensus, short interest, earnings/ex-div dates, and IV rank
  • Screen library: 73 research-backed, one-click screens covering Minervini VCP setups, O'Neil pivots, Weinstein Stage 2 leaders, dividend aristocrats, short candidates and macro-regime tilts. Each screen is graded A-D by evidence quality and deep-linkable from the dashboard or shareable as a URL. Browse the full screen library →
  • Interactive charts with indicators: every ticker opens a full TradingView-style chart with overlays for the 5/10/20/50/200 MAs, VWAP, Bollinger Bands, Ichimoku cloud and pivot levels, plus oscillator panes for RSI, MACD, ADX/DI, Stochastics and the TTM Squeeze. Mark earnings, ex-dividend dates and your own entry/stop/target levels directly on the chart.
  • Grid view (side-by-side charts): open the same interactive chart for several tickers at once, laid out side-by-side on one screen with a synchronised timeframe and the same indicator overlays. Useful for comparing leaders vs laggards, ETF deep-dives, watchlist triage and pre-market scanning.
  • Stock profiles: one-click profile cards showing fund overview, sector breakdown, top holdings, and key statistics
  • Trading Journal: write down each trade, with your entry, stop and shares. Trades logged on the day, for stocks we cover, keep a note of the stock's Master Rank and Stock Score, its fund's signal and the market regime at that moment. Results are shown in money and in R (your result against what you risked). Group your trades by setup, sector and your own grade, keep a weekly look-back, save trades to study, and see a chart of each closed trade. Up to 500 trades, and you can download all of them. Figures stay in each share's own currency, and the journal is not a tax record.

How We Use AI

  • AI Screen Builder uses Claude, from Anthropic. It reads the words you type in search and chooses which of the screener's own filters they ask for, from a fixed list. It never sees a stock, never writes text you read, and never picks, ranks or compares stocks: the list and its order are the screener's.
  • Only your question is sent to Anthropic, nothing else about you. Please do not type personal details. A question asking for advice, a prediction or the best stocks gets a note, not a list.
  • The results are general information, not advice. Neremar Advisory Ltd is not authorised or regulated by the FCA. Premium includes 20 screens a day (about 600 a month).
  • Copy for AI, on many pages, puts the page's numbers on your clipboard for your own AI tool; the numbers go only to your clipboard.

Who It's For

  • Active investors who rotate between sectors based on relative strength and macro conditions
  • Swing and position traders looking for momentum across asset classes
  • Portfolio managers who need a broad relative-strength and economic regime dashboard
