Group rotation is a phenomenon where institutions exert buying or selling pressure in an industry group, pushing prices of the group higher or higher relative to the general market. An industry can often lead or lag the market, and the most highly correlated stocks (mirror closest to the overall move in that group) usually move in unison. The technology used to make these predictions is available for a low monthly fee at http://www.squeezetrigger.com/services/strat/mh.php . The chart below displays the correlation, beta and relative strength of the top most highly correlated stocks in the highlighted industry group:

We automatically calculate correlation to help find the stocks that most closely match their groups movement and generate powerful group consensus trading signals to profit from the herd mentality. When multiple stocks in a group turn at the same time and the rotation of that group is confirmed, an explosive move typically occurs. Correlation measures the tendency for a symbol to move in unison with the group, beta measures the amount the symbol is expected to move relative to the group and relative strength looks back at the recent past to show how the stock has been moving relative to the group.
