Backtested Strategies Announces BTS Zones
The Californer/10350233

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- Backtested Strategies has launched BTS Zones as a research layer for its interactive market seasonality heatmaps. The overlays help users flag periods where historical relative strength or weakness clustered across indexes, sectors, and industries.

BTS Heatmaps convert completed calendar-year price history into interactive weekly views of return, consistency, volatility, relative performance, data depth, and zones of relative strength or weakness. The current heatmap lineup includes Major Indexes, Industry Sectors, and Key Industries. They can be accessed from the BTS Tools menu.

What BTS Zones show

BTS Zones mark All Data periods where a market group showed unusually strong or weak relative performance versus the S&P 500. The heatmap interface separates the overlay into BTS Long Zones for selected relative-strength periods and BTS Short Zones for selected relative-weakness periods.

When a selected cell falls inside a BTS Zone, the heatmap details pane shows the average relative move versus the S&P 500 and the number of weeks in the zone. Users can review the highlighted periods alongside the heatmap's eight metrics: Average Return, Median Return, Volatility, Return / Volatility, Positive Week Rate, Win Rate vs S&P 500, Relative Return vs S&P 500, and Sample Size.
