what we do

Our focus is on the development of proprietary geodesic models that characterize the behavior of leveraged long/short ETFs in pairs trades using first principles of Hamilton-Lagrange-Euler mechanics. Because of tracking errors & daily compounding phenomena, equal weightings of leveraged ETFs in a pairs trade are virtually never 50-50. Daily data & graphics will show subscribers where neutral pair weightings have moved along the path of the pairs geodesic thereby providing multiple market direction & re-balance indicators.

Today's Commentary

going strictly by the numbers, the model is indicating a reversal back toward a bullish position. RSI favors SSO & the geodesic parmeters 1st order rates of change have crossed each at the x-axis. just like most other technical indicators, the SDS-SSO geodesic shows where we've been and provides a sense of trend in the very short-term. This indicator does not indicate overbought or oversold conditions like MACD or other well-known stoicastic indicators. having said that, the coordinates on the geodesic are likely to change direction within 3 - 5 trading days from now.

while using a scatter plot of the geodesic paramters 1st order rates of change data, i'm finding the data is changing linearly with respect to each other. i will be studying this data to determine what the indication may be when these changes become non-linear. the behavior of these swings along the geodesic is like a non-linear pendulum. in the case of a real pendulum, a weight is attached to a wire of rod of some material that has a very high spring constant. as far as the weight is concerned, the distance from the weight & center of rotation never change, nor the mass of the weight.

in our case we have a pendulum which has a variable mass attached to a spring with a variable spring constant. the motion of a system (with respect to time) is non-linear and very erractic. the motion of the mass would be swinging and bobbing with no fixed frequency. such a system still must follow the laws of physics. the solution to the equations of motion are much more complex, however. the motion of the whole system fortunately follows along a geodesic with some degree of symmetry.
