The hypothesis

Why this system exists.

Mean-reversion works when you filter for regime. Most mean-reversion systems lose money because they buy dips that keep dipping and sell rips that keep ripping. The fix is a regime filter: only buy dips when the larger trend is up, only sell rips when the larger trend is down. RSI(2) identifies the short-term extreme. The regime filter ensures you only trade extremes that are counter to short-term noise, not counter to the primary trend.

How it works

Three engines, one regime filter.

ENGINE 01

Dip & Rip Detection

RSI(2) mean-reversion entries filtered by market regime. Only buys dips in confirmed uptrends and only sells rips in confirmed downtrends.

ENGINE 02

Multi-Asset Universe

23 different 3x leveraged ETFs covering equities, sectors, commodities, and bonds. Large opportunity set. Low correlation within trades.

ENGINE 03

Four Exit Mechanisms

Profit target, time stop, trailing stop, reversal exit. Whichever triggers first closes the trade. No holding and hoping.

Performance

Backtest history. Live record verified on Collective2.

The chart below is the backtest record. The live track record is published on Collective2, the third-party platform that executes every trade. We link out rather than embed because Collective2 is the authoritative source.

SwingHunter figures assume a standalone SwingHunter subscriber, 100% allocation to this system, with 20% position sizing per trade (allows roughly five concurrent positions — conservative default for a multi-signal 3x ETF system).

Common questions

FAQ.

When do signals arrive?

After market close, on days when a setup triggers. SwingHunter scans the universe daily but only produces an email when the RSI(2) extreme plus regime filter line up. You open your inbox in the evening, see the signal, place the order for the next morning. Many days produce nothing.

How many signals per month?

Roughly 15 to 20 in normal regimes. Fewer during strong trends where mean-reversion setups get filtered out. The system targets short windows where an RSI(2) extreme runs counter to short-term noise but not the primary trend, so volume depends on how often those setups appear.

Why 3x leveraged ETFs? Is that safe?

Leveraged ETFs amplify daily moves, including losses. SwingHunter holds for 4 to 10 days on average, which is short enough to avoid most of the decay, and every trade has a hard stop and a defined position size. You should size positions so a worst-case stop-out is a loss you can absorb. Leveraged ETFs are a tool for defined-risk short-term trades, not a buy-and-hold.

What broker do I need?

Any broker that trades US-listed ETFs and allows short sales on leveraged ETFs. Interactive Brokers, Fidelity, Schwab, and TradeStation all work. Some brokers restrict short sales on certain 3x tickers. Check before subscribing.

Can I run this alongside TrendLock?

Yes. That is the Systems Portfolio at $347/mo. Correlation between SwingHunter and TrendLock is 0.12. When TrendLock is pressing a sustained trend, SwingHunter is usually buying pullbacks or selling rips inside that same trend, so they share direction without duplicating trades.

What is the 23-instrument universe?

A curated list of liquid 3x leveraged ETFs across asset classes: equity indices (TQQQ, SPXL, UPRO), sectors (SOXL, FAS, LABU, ERX, NUGT), commodities (JNUG, GUSH), bonds (TMF, TMV), and volatility-adjacent names. The universe is fixed. Signals can fire on any instrument the regime filter currently permits.
