RS = relative strength = percentile ranking of a stock from 1 to 100 of the % change in a stock's value during the measurement period of typically one year. It is found by taking a universe of stocks and ranking them from top to bottom, where the top RS stock has the highest % change of share price during the year. A stock with an RS of 40 for example would mean that stock outperformed 40% of the universe of stocks during the year. A stock with an RS of 1 is a real dog that has lost more of its value than 99% of other stocks. Tax-loss selling only affects stocks that have gone down a lot, i.e., low RS stocks.
