Track record
Every alert from the strategies we offer today, scored — wins and losses.
35 closed signals since Jul 20, 2026. This page is written by the same system that sends the alerts: when a SELL email goes out, the signal is added here at the same moment, with the exact prices in the emails. Nothing is edited after the fact. It shows the strategies we offer today and the earlier versions they replaced; a strategy we stop offering is taken off with it, and a rule still on trial with a small group is held back until it either ships or is dropped, so the numbers above stay one continuous, comparable series.

Look at the entries first. Would you have taken these?
Only closed signals are in the record, so positions still open today don't show up yet — the last couple of weeks look thinner than they really were until those close.
Swing TradePro
After-close BUY alert on a short-term dip in a strong uptrend that is also outperforming the S&P 500 (a second ADD alert only if it dips 3% more); SELL alert the moment it pops. Since October 2026 it skips dips right after an earnings report, and a trade still open after 20 trading days sells at break-even. P&L is measured from the alert’s signal price — the average cost after an add — to the SELL alert price.

Swing ElitePremium
The Swing Trade setup, but the day’s candidates are ranked against an 11-day high instead of a 7-day one, and a position that has gone 20 trading days without getting back above its cost gives up its place to a better-ranked new signal; since October 2026 its ADD alert waits for a 3.5% dip. Same kind of BUY/ADD/SELL alerts; P&L is measured from the alert’s signal price — the average cost after an add — to the SELL alert price.

How to read these numbers
Picckles is a publisher of trading signals, not an investment adviser, and nothing on this page is a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Results shown are the signal prices in the BUY and SELL emails, not actual trades: they do not include commissions, slippage, or the difference between the alert price and the price you actually get at your broker, which can be material. Your results will differ. Backtested results are hypothetical, computed on historical data with the benefit of hindsight, and do not reflect real trading. Past performance — live or backtested — does not guarantee future results, and every trade carries real risk of loss, including the loss of your entire position.
