Worst drop
Backtested 2001 – 2026. Worst drop = largest fall from a high, open positions marked daily.
The backtest says 85%. Live, it's 86%. We publish both, because a backtest is the easy number to print and the live one is the only number you can check. Every alert from the strategies we offer today is listed with its result, losers included, and nothing is edited after the fact.
Backtested results are not a guarantee, and a live record this young is a small sample. Every trade carries real risk of loss.

Look at the entries first. Would you have taken these?
Two emails, that's the whole loop — this is a real one, most recently closed:
A real closed signal from the record above. Past results are not a promise of future ones.
Three steps. That's the whole product.
We scan
Every trading day we check hundreds of large US stocks and keep only the ones in a strong, steady uptrend.
You get a BUY email
When a strong stock takes a short-term dip, you get an email with the exact entry price and the plan.
You get a SELL email
When it's time to close the trade, another email tells you to sell. You place both trades at your own broker.
Two plans. One rule each.
Rules-based and email-only. Premium sends the same kind of alert as Pro, but picks better trades and drops stalled ones, so it earned more with smaller drops.
Swing Trade
85% win rate (backtested)
After-close alerts to buy a short-term dip in a strong uptrend that is beating the market, with an entry range and a sell signal that fires the moment it pops — about a week later on average.
Swing Elite
33% a year, worst drop 22% (backtested)
Swing Trade’s alerts, with two upgrades. When more stocks qualify than you have room for, it picks the ones that have dropped the most. And when a trade stalls below your cost for a month, it swaps it for a fresh signal instead of waiting. Over 25 years that earned 33% a year against 29%, cut the worst drop from 35% to 22%, and came out ahead in every one of 21 start years.

Same entry signal, same stocks. Elite makes better decisions about which trades you hold and when to let one go. 25-year backtest, six positions, before broker fees. Backtested results are hypothetical and do not guarantee future returns.

Why this exists
I built Picckles after losing real money trading breakouts and momentum by hand. The problem was never finding ideas — it was me. I overrode my own rules, held losers too long, and talked myself out of the trades that worked.
So I stopped deciding. Picckles runs two mechanical strategies on a fixed universe of large, liquid US stocks. There is no discretion in it and no way for me to quietly skip a signal I don't like — which is the only reason a page like the track record above can exist. Every alert it sends is published, whether it worked or not.
You won't find testimonials on this page. I took them down, because anyone can write those. The record is the testimonial.
Questions traders ask before signing up.
Is this financial advice?
No. Each alert is a rules-based output from a mechanical scan, not a personal recommendation. You decide whether to place every trade, and you’re responsible for your own entries, exits, and position sizing.
Do I need to connect my brokerage account?
No. Picckles never asks for API keys or account access. You get an email, and you place the trade yourself at whatever broker you already use.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. The 30-day trial sends you Swing Elite alerts, our top plan, and gives you every tool, with no card on file and nothing to cancel. If you don’t continue, the alerts simply stop.
Why is the live win rate lower than the backtest?
Because a backtest is a model and live trading isn’t. The 25-year figures come from historical simulation; the live figures come from alerts that were actually emailed, at the prices that were in them. We show both, side by side, and the live record is short enough that it will keep moving. Any service showing you only the backtested number is showing you the flattering half.
How many alerts will I get?
It depends on how many qualifying setups the scan finds on a given day — there’s no fixed quota. Some days there are several; other days there are none, because the strategy would rather skip a day than force a trade.
What happens after the free trial?
Nothing is charged automatically, because there’s no card on file. If you want to keep the alerts, you pick a plan — $29/mo for Swing Trade, $39/mo for Swing Elite — and you can cancel any time.
Can I use my own bot or system instead?
Yes — the same signals are available through the Signals API if you’d rather pull them into your own tooling.
