MRS | Mansfield Relative Strength - 4CR CUP
There are many investors referring to Relative Strength (RS) indicator published by Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) for their analysis. Since the RS published by IBD is a proprietary indicator, no exact formulation is published on it.
Many discussion suggested that an alternative to the IBD RS is the Mansfield Relative Strength .
There are 2 parameters for Mansfield Relative Strength setting, namely the market index and the lookback period, n. the default setting of Mansfield Relative Strength adopted by Stan Weinstein was “SPY” and “52” in weekly chart and “200” in daily chart .
Stan Weinstein used the Mansfield Relative Strength indicator on weekly charts. He suggested the breakouts out of a base had to go together with rising relative strength . The Mansfield RS needs to be rising and close to or above 0.
This version of Mansfield Relative Strength relaxes these input parameters for your own choice.
The market index can be set to other market index, e.g. NDX, DJI, NI255, MOEX , TAIEX , HSI , etc. and the lookback period is relaxed to integral input, e.g. 60, 90, 150, etc.
Mansfield Relative Strength
The Relative Strength indicator adopted by Stan Weinstein in his book: “Secrets For Profiting in Bull and Bear Markets” is formulated as Mansfield Relative Strength ( MRS ).
The formula of this indicator is based on the regular Dorsey RS (DRS):
DRS = Price_stock / Price_index
MRS = 100 * (DRS_today / sma (DRS, n)) - 1)
Where:
DRS = Dorsey Relative Strength
SMA = Simple moving average over n days.
The Mansfield Relative Strength formulates as the change of ratio of DRS to its own n-day moving average, this means:
MRS equals to 0 if the DRS is exactly equal to its n day moving average.
MRS is negative if the DRS is below its n day moving average.
MRS is positive if the DRS is above its n day moving average.
Using Mansfield Relative Strength
The MRS tells the relative price movement of the stock to the market index in a period of time concern. As with the Dorsey RS , you can use Mansfield RS to examine if a stock performs better than the market.
This indicator has the advantage over the Dorsey RS that in Dorsey RS only trend matters while for Mansfield RS the values whether below or above the 0 also matters. This allows us to screen for stocks with a MRS value above 0. When we see that the MRS is far above 0 and has been above 0 for some time, we have found a stock that outperforms the market heavily. We can buy this kinds of stock when dips occur.

A SMA of the MRS is added to help identifying the trend of the relative strength.
