SwingSignal

Frequently asked questions

Everything about how SwingSignal scores markets, picks which ones to cover, and what it does (and doesn't) do.

Is this financial advice?

No. SwingSignal is an educational/informational tool. Composite scores are a heuristic blend of technicals, positioning, macro conditions and news sentiment — not a prediction or a recommendation. Always do your own research and use proper position sizing and risk management.

How is the composite score calculated?

Nine factors — trend, momentum, breakout, positioning, macro, fear & greed, news, chart patterns and harmonic patterns — are weighted into one -100…+100 score. Every weight is backtested, not guessed; see Backtest & Methodology for the full numbers, and Info for what each factor means.

How are markets chosen, and can new ones be added?

Every market on the platform had to clear the same backtest bar first: a positive hit rate, average P&L and profit factor over a multi-year walk-forward test, with the edge holding on both the long and short side, not just riding one persistent trend. New candidates are screened this way on an ongoing basis — see the "How we choose which markets make the cut" section on the home page.

How often do signals refresh?

Every market is automatically re-screened on an hourly cycle. You can also trigger an on-demand refresh from the Signals page.

Is there a free trial, and can I cancel anytime?

The Signals page itself is free to browse with no account needed. Once billing opens, the Starter plan comes with a 7-day free trial; Pro and Elite are billed from day one. Every plan has no long-term commitment — cancel whenever you like. See Pricing for the full plan details.

Does SwingSignal place trades or manage money for me?

No. SwingSignal only screens and scores markets and suggests entry/stop/target levels — it never places trades, holds funds or manages a brokerage account on your behalf. You stay in full control of every decision.
