BTS Opportunity Zones

Backtested Strategies announces BTS Opportunity Zones, proprietary All Data research overlays in BTS Heatmaps that highlight selected historical multi-week periods of unusual relative strength or weakness versus the S&P 500.

Backtested Strategies has launched BTS Opportunity 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 Opportunity Zones. The current heatmap lineup includes Major Indexes, Industry Sectors, and Key Industries. They can be accessed from the BTS Tools menu.

What BTS Opportunity Zones show

BTS Opportunity 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 Opportunity 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 weekly return, median return, positive-week rate, volatility, return-to-volatility, data points used, average relative weekly return versus the S&P 500, and win rate versus the S&P 500.

Built for research, not prediction

BTS Opportunity Zones are built for historical market research, not prediction. They can help users compare recurring seasonal behavior and relative-performance clusters, but the overlays are historical summaries, not forecasts, trading signals, or trading recommendations.
