Rotation map: who is leading and who is lagging

The rotation map places each symbol by two measures against a benchmark such as Bitcoin or the S&P 500: how strong its trend is next to the benchmark (RS-Ratio) and whether that strength is growing (RS-Momentum). The four corners show who is leading, weakening, lagging or improving. It is a Pro Lab tool, part of the Pro and Elite plans.

Using it

1. On a computer, press Pro Lab on the right-hand toolbar; on a phone, open the analysis centre from the chart's bottom bar and choose Pro Lab. Then choose Rotation map.
2. Choose the symbols: one of your watchlists, Top crypto or US large caps. Up to 40 symbols are placed.
3. Choose the benchmark: automatic, Bitcoin, Ether, the S&P 500, the Nasdaq 100 or any other symbol.
4. Choose 4-hour, daily or weekly bars, the tail length (3 to 20 bars) and the window.

Reading the map

• Right of 100: stronger than the benchmark. Above 100: that strength is growing.
• Symbols usually turn clockwise: improving, then leading, weakening and lagging.
• Each tail shows a symbol's last steps; the table gives its direction and its distance from the centre as heading and strength.
• Press Play to replay the past and watch the rotation unfold, then go back to the latest bar.

Good to know

• Symbols without enough shared history with the benchmark on that timeframe are listed as not shown, with the reason.
• The last bar may still be open, so the newest point can still move.
• The map follows the classic relative-rotation idea with an open method, not a proprietary formula.
