Alt Trading: S1

S1 Swing System — Multi-Session Model (Alt Research Lab)

S1 is the “fewer, better trades” system: a futures swing framework designed to produce higher-quality setups across multi-session moves, with predefined risk rules and reduced decision fatigue.

This system is built for traders who want:

• Fewer, higher-quality setups instead of constant signals
  
• Multi-session holds designed to capture short-to-medium term moves
  
• Regime alignment and risk-first execution without discretion
  

S1 is part of the Alt Research Lab, meaning it’s updated monthly through real performance diagnostics and model iteration.

What S1 is designed to solve

Swing systems usually fail for one of two reasons: they overtrade chop or they hold through regimes they weren’t built for.

S1 is built to enforce:

• Regime first — alignment through the shared Analysis Screener
  
• Selectivity second — only participate when conditions support continuation
  
• Risk third — predefined rules so holds remain controlled and repeatable
  

The goal is not to take more trades.
The goal is to take fewer trades with better context and cleaner holding behavior.

How the Alt Research Lab improves S1

Our updates lean heavily toward swing durability and regime robustness:

• Regime diagnostics — trend strength, volatility shifts, and behavior transitions
  
• Participation tightening — filtering “valid-looking” setups that underperform historically
  
• Hold behavior shaping — improving exits without choking the edge
  
• Drawdown clustering control — improving stability across different environments
  

We don’t chase complexity.
We ship changes that improve consistency across regimes while preserving the system’s core identity.

What you get with S1

• Futures swing system designed for multi-session holds
  
• Shared Analysis Screener for regime alignment
  
• Predefined risk rules for consistent execution
  
• Designed to capture short-to-medium term moves with fewer decisions
  
• Monthly iteration under Alt Research Lab
  

How to use it (recommended)

• Keep defaults — S1 is engineered as a complete system
  
• Let the Analysis Screener filter regime instead of forcing participation
  
• Evaluate performance by drawdown behavior and regime consistency, not single trades
  

Alt Research Lab note:
S1 will evolve monthly. Expect updates that improve regime handling and stability — not a totally new system every version.
