Rule-Based Swing Systems
Rayner teaches rule-based systems: momentum, mean reversion, and Bollinger Band pullbacks, each with entry, exit, and allocation rules he tests on years of data and walks through on TradingView. His channel covers several markets; this page keeps the stock lessons. Here is the stack behind those systems, and the tools that can do the same jobs.
Rayner's channel teaches stocks, forex, and futures. This page keeps the stock lessons and labels the one multi-asset system. Backtest results in his videos are his own and have not been replicated by FullStack Alpha.

Rayner Teo buys short-term weakness in stocks, but only while a long-term moving average filter confirms the uptrend still holds. A maximum-position rule caps how many trades are open at once, and capital is allocated by the system's rules.

Rayner Teo lays out a momentum rotation that shifts between stock-index, gold, and commodity exposures on a periodic rebalance, with a spreadsheet behind it. This is a multi-asset system, not a single-stock one, and the data shown is his own.

Rayner Teo builds a mean reversion system that ranks qualifying stocks and takes only the top-ranked signals, with sizing and capital allocation written into the rules. His backtests were not replicated, and exact ranking and exit settings are in the video.

Rayner Teo lays out a Bollinger Band pullback system with written entry, exit, and allocation rules, backed by years of historical results. The percentage in the title is his own backtest, and the system overlaps heavily with his later mean reversion lesson.

In this 2024 interview with Rayner Teo, systematic trader Adrian Reid mentions Norgate Data as a source for historical stock data. That is the guest's tool, so do not read it as Rayner's own setup.

Rayner Teo's 2019 beginner course runs about 97 minutes, from what a stock is and the main order types through fundamental and technical analysis, his T.A.E. framework, risk management, and a worked example trade. The "formula that works" in the description is his claim, so the section worth copying first is position sizing, which he pitches as the guard against blowing up an account.
