I built a rules-based swing trading system and decided to make the results public
I got sick of trading tools that parade winning setups but never show what actually happened after the fact.
So I built my own tracker.
It’s a mechanical system for US equities, it scans for breakout/pullback rules, checks broad market regime, and records entry + stop when a signal fires. Then it auto-tracks every trade to exit.
No auto-execution, no "AI magic," and no deleting the losers.
Since July, it’s logged 147 signals and 95 closed trades across two strategies. The closed stats look good honestly, a bit too good, which is why I'm trying not to get ahead of myself. It’s still a tiny sample size, and the backtests have clear limitations.
The goal is simple: can a swing-trading process be transparent enough that anyone can audit the forward performance live, without relying on cherry-picked Twitter screenshots?
The full methodology, live journal, and list of flaws are up at **swingterminal.com**.
Tear it apart, especially if you trade systematic/rules-based strategies. What obvious blind spots am I missing?
