Volatility Risk Trigger & VIX Top Composite

Models based on award-winning research combined with market-derived “symptoms” that have lead to large swings by the Volatility Index as well as defined high and low volatility environments.

The VRT is an adaptive system that uncovers high probability periods of time that lead to spikes in volatility and result in U.S. equity market drawdowns.

Maestro Model

The Maestro Model incorporates three market-based categories: Breadth, Trend/Momentum, Sentiment/Volatility, & Economic, into a single composite that provides a quantitative score for the health of the market. Paired with a Capitulation Gauge, the Maestro Model produces both Aggressive and Conservative Signals for the U.S. equity market.

Technical Analysis

Our research provides a detailed review of the broad technical themes taking place in the financial markets. With a focus on the major U.S. sectors and industries, our analysis gives readers a better understanding of the supply and demand forces driving the trends in price.

Risk Appetite Ratios & Sector Sentiment Score

By evaluating 18 risk ratios from equity, forex, fixed income, and commodity markets we can begin to see trends of increasing or decreasing investor risk appetite.

We can also evaluate the sentiment of each sector by quantitively scoring the sentiment of the underlying stocks as well as the sector it self. When combined with bullish momentum divergences, we can uncover opportunities when specific sectors may change trend and head higher.

Trusted by Professionals

“In one word, Thrasher is a prodigy when it comes to analyzing the markets and technical analysis. As a portfolio manager and owner/operator of an RIA firm with clients all over the country, there are very few pieces of research I trust outside of my own. That said, I subscribe to a very small handful of outside analysis and given the endless options of choices that exist in the market, I’ve been a subscriber to Thrasher’s research since Day-1 with no plans (or need) to look elsewhere.”

RIA Owner/Financial Advisor
