Legacy record
SwingHunter — legacy record.
No longer sold. Succeeded by Momentum Rotator.
Multi-day swing trading using 3x leveraged ETFs. Buys dips in confirmed uptrends. Sells rips in confirmed downtrends. 23-instrument universe spanning equities, sectors, commodities, and bonds.
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.
What to expect
Drawdowns are a feature of this system. Here's the envelope.
SwingHunter is deliberately aggressive. It trades 3x leveraged ETFs across equities, sectors, commodities, and bonds. Large drawdowns are expected, and the live C2 book can and has exceeded the research envelope. If a 30%+ drawdown would make you panic, this is the wrong product.
Live Collective2 max drawdown is currently about -35.6%, deeper than the historical research envelope of about -31.2%. C2 strategy 154627903 is the authoritative live record. Do not treat the research curve as the current experience.
How it works
Three engines, one regime filter.
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.
Multi-Asset Universe
23 different 3x leveraged ETFs covering equities, sectors, commodities, and bonds. Large opportunity set. Low correlation within trades.
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?
This page preserves the legacy methodology and record for transparency. SwingHunter is no longer sold to new subscribers. Existing subscribers continue to receive signals unchanged.
Can I subscribe to SwingHunter?
No. SwingHunter is no longer sold to new subscribers. Existing subscribers keep their legacy access. Momentum Rotator is the forward successor to SwingHunter’s aggressive-satellite role.
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.
