ANALYZE Market Statistics and expectations for the general direction of the market according to the proprietary HEDGEfolios Timing Indicator and HEDGEfolios Signal Indicator. As the overall market direction is largely responsible for the movement in any particular stock, effective portfolio management requires that you understand whether the market is with you or against you.
The HEDGEfolios Timing Indicator measures the strength of Up signals (HF Bullish) versus the strength of Down signals (HF Bearish). By applying the dimension of time, this indicator provides a unique way to ANALYZE the most likely market trends and helps to avoid entering or exiting the market too late or too early. If the current reading for the HF Bullish is higher than HF Bearish, the indicator is predicting that the market has an upward bias and vice versa. The historical data for the HEDGEfolios Timing Indicator can be seen on the following chart. Crossovers of the HF Bullish and HF Bearish lines implies that the market has changed direction.
