  1. Hi Tim, something that puzzles me but maybe it shouldn't by the way this heat map is constructed. How come the ranking is so contiguously packed, marching along adjacent rows and columns? I would expect more arbitrary ranking to sprinkle around the 2-dimensional matrix.

  2. That's because I use two models and multiply them together: 9 styles and 9 sectors.

  3. Makes total sense now why the ranking is spread rather neatly around the matrix. Is the style model also mean reverting or just the sector model?

  4. Yes. Both are essentially the same model. The only difference is that one is style ETFs and the other sector ETFs. You'll note that my newest trades on the full model are combining the two.
