Welcome to Slugger & Switch-Hitter — Start Here

Both are monthly rotational swing-trading systems for strong, high-growth U.S. stocks. Each scans the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 for stocks in a clear uptrend that are pulling back relative to the S&P 500 — then a proprietary engine ranks the candidates and picks the strongest setups. The idea rests on two things stocks reliably do: trend and mean-revert. We buy strength on a dip, and hold while the trend runs.

They are deliberately aggressive systems — historically strong compound growth, but with large drawdowns along the way. They’re built to be one part of a diversified portfolio, with a slice of capital set aside for aggressive strategies. They are not designed to be traded with 100% of your money.

Same core rules, a few different parameters, and — importantly — different trade days. Staggering them is intentional: together they can catch mid-month pullbacks as buying opportunities and mid-month rallies as selling opportunities.

You receive every signal from both systems, plus the full archive for each. Positions sometimes overlap between the two — when that happens, it’s up to you to track each system’s positions separately. Running a separate brokerage account for each system makes that easy; it’s recommended, but not required.

After the market close, I run the systems and send your alert. You’ll get it two ways: by email, and posted to your member Dashboard. Most members spend about 15 minutes a month or less across both systems.

• The email subject tells you the system — formatted [Slugger] … or [Switch-Hitter] … so you always know which one a trade belongs to.
• Each alert lists exactly what to do — the tickers to buy, sell, or hold, with a stop price for every position.
• When to act — place market orders at the next morning’s open, or set conditional/limit orders in advance.
• Stop-loss alerts — if a position hits its stop between trade days, you’ll get an email that night so you can exit.

Monthly returns are not evenly distributed and are not guaranteed to be profitable. Historically more months are winners than losers, but a real share of months are losses or break-even. Many new traders assume a good stock-picking system wins every month — that isn’t realistic or possible.

Stocks will hit their stops and we will take losses. That’s a normal, expected part of the process — not a sign anything is broken. These systems play for odds over many trades; they are not get-rich-quick schemes. Holds typically run several weeks, and prices can swing meaningfully up and down during that time. Wealth generation is a multi-year process, and patience is the edge most people underestimate.
