Fired means the compression released. On our playbook the fire is exit territory, not an entry signal: the entry happens inside the squeeze, on the momentum turn. The learn hub explains why.

The receipts

What the squeeze has done on KLAC, honestly.

Our own historical backtest, 2006 to present, Slingshot entries on KLAC. Per-symbol numbers are the receipts, not the verdict: single names produce small samples by design, so we only show timeframes with at least 30 trades, and the verdict lives at the system level below.

The system record

The verdict comes from 5,852 trades, not one ticker.

Across every symbol we track, the daily Slingshot entry won 69.1% of 5,852 trades since 2004 in our own backtest, averaging +0.93% per trade over a roughly 17-day hold, era-stable at 67 to 71% through four very different markets. About 46% of signals never pulled back a full ATR, and those runners won roughly 92%. That distribution, not any single name, is why the setup earns a place on the board.
