Switchback produces systematic stock scan results generated from weekly price data, focusing on stocks experiencing steep drawdowns. History shows that large declines frequently create the conditions for strong short- and intermediate-term gains. But not all drawdowns are equal. Switchback is designed to distinguish between declines that can persist and those that are becoming unstable.
At the core of Switchback is a composite framework built from multiple measures of trend stability, momentum exhaustion and divergences. Momentum is evaluated across various lookback periods, allowing the system to detect situations where downside price movement continues while underlying momentum begins to stabilize, flatten, or rise in a bullish manner.
Switchback does not provide trade recommendations. No buy or sell instructions are given. The signals published are ideas, not directives—designed to highlight stocks entering statistically and structurally interesting zones where reversals could occur. How, when, or whether to act on those ideas is left entirely to the subscriber. No investment advice is being given. Seeking confirmation of a trend change can be an important next step. For example, a single week or multi-week close higher.
