Virtually every other Web site that ranks ETFs by strength uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to do so. That is because it is a quick and convenient upload for the operators of a Web site. Also, few Web sites have staff with the mathematical expertise necessary to create anything better. However, we do create our own algorithms and indicators. The strength algorithm we use is one of these. It is proprietary, and it it is not used anywhere else on the Internet. It is far more complex than the simplistic RSI and far more effective at finding stocks that are not only strong but that also have strong chart patterns.

If you scan 2000 stocks with the Relative Strength Index (RSI), you will find that many of the stocks that rank high are not very attractive because of nearby overhead resistance or because the surge of strength measured is not really significant for some other reason (a non-significant rebound in a bad pattern). In fact, a stock's chart pattern can be terrible even though its RSI is very high. The charts of stocks on the list selected by our own strength screens, however, will look much more attractive. The more stocks that are screened, the greater the difference in output will be. When you look at ETFs ranked highest by our strength indicator, you will know you are looking at ETFs that are the strongest available. (Incidentally, the image above, when expanded, looks much smaller than it really is. Use the "Strongest ETFs" tab on the left side of your screen to see a more accurately rendered list).

Though there are hundreds of ETFs, many of these trade only a few hundred shares a day. Low volume also means a person is likely to pay more when buying or get less when selling. Much of this stuff is pure junk and not worth considering. Our universe of candidate ETFs consists of the more actively traded (higher daily volume) ETFs. This universe is then subjected to our "strength" algorithms (compare 50 stocks selected by using the Relative Strength Index with those selected by our own strength filter. The difference will be quite obvious).

Here is a sample strategy. A person could select the top ten ETFs and hold them until one falls out of the top 30 list (the ETF in the 30th place is in bold type for easy reference). The “drop-out” could then be replaced with the highest ranking ETF not currently in the portfolio. In this way the portfolio will become weighted to favor the strongest sectors or markets in the world. Adjustments could be made once a week, once a month, or whatever. For some other ideas, click on the “Strongest ETFs” tab on the navigation panel (left side of your screen), and read the strategies mentioned there. Why pay a money manager 1% to 3% of your investment assets to manage your portfolio when you could create your own portfolio that is always invested in the strongest ETFs?
