About this strategy
Tripping Billies Horizon is a swing‑trade strategy designed to hold positions from 2 days up to 2+ months. It aims to catch the larger part of a move without the need to babysit every intraday tick.
The strategy looks for short‑ to medium‑term swings inside a broader trend, then lets trades breathe while price works. Some trades will wrap up in a couple of days; others can run for weeks or months when the trend is strong.
Once a position is on, Tripping Billies Horizon follows a rules‑based exit plan. The goal is straightforward: stay in the move long enough to matter, manage risk, and maximize profits..

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.
These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
