Swing Trade
Model.
7-28 day positioning corridor. A trend-following signal engine with precision dip entries. 78 signals 2026 YTD, 74.4% win rate, +225% raw P&L, 100% win on Grade A+B. Cryptographically timestamped at release.
Grade A+B win rate. Closes at 82%+ on rolling 12-month windows · +17pp vs all-grade base of 65%.
The dip is the signal.
The trend is the permission.
Swing Trade waits for the pullback inside the trend — the structural rest, the technical breath, the moment of doubt in an otherwise clean directional tape. The model never tries to call a top or a bottom; it waits for the trend to be obvious, and then watches for the dip.
Above: a stylised price action. The dotted channel is the trend regime. The amber box is the precision dip — a pullback within the dominant trend, identified by momentum slowdown and structural support. The green circle is the published entry; the green line is the exit target; the red line is the stop.
Mechanical Engine
Trend regime, momentum, and structural support are all computed quantitatively from a closing-price daily window. There is no chart-reading, no pattern-naming.
Macro Overlay
Each quant signal is then checked against the Vector Ridge macro framework for that asset, that day. Aligned signals advance; opposed signals are dropped.
Grade Permanent At Entry
Conviction grade A–E is set at the moment of entry and does not change in flight. The grade is the model's word, given on the record.
Returns Are Raw
Every figure is reported raw and unweighted — no portfolio sizing, no fees baked in. Reconciled annually by AuditedTrader.

Wins are larger than losses.
The grade means what it says.
For each grade, the model declares an expected win-rate band at entry. Below: actual closed-rate vs band. All five grades land inside their declared bands over the rolling 12-month window — the model is well-calibrated.
The model spends most time at new highs.

One trade, five stages.
Trend regime confirmed
EUR/USD up-trend regime detected, momentum slowdown into 1.0875 structural support — raw quant signal generated.
Macro framework agrees
EUR-USD rate differential narrowing; risk-on tape; macro thesis aligns with quant — full alignment.
Grade A assigned
Conviction grade set at A on full alignment. Entry, direction, target, and stop written down.
Position published & stamped
Cryptographic timestamp recorded. Subscribers notified via dashboard, email, push.
In flight to target
Position open, currently +3.36% · 8 days held · 60% of move to target captured.
Swing Trade outperforms +8.4× vs benchmark.
Two engines. One verdict.
The Swing Trade engine is mechanical at its core — but every raw signal is checked against the Vector Ridge macro framework before publication. The grade encodes how cleanly the two reads agree. Quant alone gets you to the trade. Macro alignment gets you to the grade.
Quant Signal
Trend regime, momentum, structural support. Computed from a closing-price window. Pure mechanics.
Macro Framework
Per-asset macro thesis, refreshed daily. Rate-cycle, growth–inflation, risk-on/off. Discretionary read.
Conviction A–E
Alignment determines grade. A is full agreement. E is marginal. Permanent at entry.
// What it does
Trend-following with precision dip entries. Each session prices 30 instruments across all six markets, identifying pullback levels where price rebounds within the dominant trend.
// How it grades
Conviction A–E by quant–macro alignment. Grade A requires full agreement; Grade E is speculative. Grade is permanent at entry.
// How returns are reported
Returns reported raw and unweighted, before any portfolio sizing rules. Audited annually by AuditedTrader.

Honest about the edge. Honest about the limits.
The Swing Trade Model has a defined operating envelope. Inside that envelope, it is a strong, repeatable signal engine. Outside it, it is silent. Below: the explicit list of what the model claims and does not claim — written down, on the record.
Operating Envelope
- Trend-following with precision dip entries in identified trend regimes
- Daily session, 30 instruments priced across 6 asset classes
- Grading A through E by quant–macro alignment, set at entry
- Long & short, session-to-target hold period
- Returns reported raw and unweighted, before fees and slippage
- Cryptographically timestamped at the moment of publication
- Audited annually by AuditedTrader · 2020 — 2025
Out of Scope
- Calling tops or bottoms · the model does not predict reversals
- Working in chop / range-bound markets · low-trend = low conviction
- Fee-adjusted or slippage-included returns · execution is yours
- A guarantee against drawdowns · max DD has reached 34% historically
- Performance during illiquid / halted markets · gap-risk excluded
- Any specific position sizing · sizing is a portfolio-level decision
- Investment advice · the model is a signal, not a recommendation
