Here are the Top 3 Easy Steps and 6 Secrets of the Rotation Model from the video “Beginner Guide to Rotation Model,”

1. Simplicity Over Complexity: Use the “747” Jet Without Piloting It

Although the Rotation Model is complex under the hood (hence James calling it a “747” and hte most complex model we have ever built), you don’t need to understand its intricate mechanics to benefit from it. The secret is: don’t over-optimize. It’s designed to be plug-and-play for everyday investors. Just focus on using it with discipline—no need to tinker with every setting.

2. Asset Selection Is Your First Edge

The model works best when you feed it assets with real potential to run. You don’t need to already own them; you just need conviction that these will perform over the next year. Whether it's Nvidia, Palantir, or HIMS, handpick 5 that you're bullish on—and let the model do the rest. Think of it like pre-selecting racehorses before the whistle blows.

3. The Projections Table Is the “Brain” of the System

This is the most critical input. The model uses your price projections to time buys and sells. If your targets are unrealistic or overly optimistic, the model may allocate capital inefficiently. The key is to:

  • Use informed estimates based on past highs, growth potential, or tools like LILO.

  • Lean “slightly bullish” if uncertain—this keeps you realistic yet optimistic.

This simple tweak ensures the model behaves in line with your expectations and doesn’t chase poor setups.

4. Just Follow the Buy Signals — No Overthinking

Once steps 1 (assets) and 2 (projections) are done, step 3 is pure execution: act on the buy signals. The model has a strong track record of accuracy, catching bottoms like the July 8th Tesla signal or the post-dip HIMS buy. If you wait for perfect conditions, you’ll miss the run—the system is calibrated to front-run momentum.

5. Built-in Capital Rotation Strategy

The Rotation Model includes a default capital management mechanic: sell half of the current holding to fund the next buy. This reduces FOMO and keeps you invested in prior winners while riding new ones. It solves the “where do I get the money from?” problem elegantly and automatically keeps your portfolio in motion.

6. Alerts = Set and Forget

You can automate everything with bar-close alerts for each asset. Just set up 5 alerts tied to your selected tickers within the model. You’ll get notified when to act, without needing to stare at charts all day. This turns the Rotation Model into a low-maintenance, high-conviction engine that only taps you on the shoulder when action is needed.

✅ Final Takeaway

You don’t need to be a quant or a coder to win with the Rotation Model. Stick to this three-step rhythm:

  • Pick 5 promising assets.

  • Set realistic price projections.

  • Follow the buy signals.

It’s a proven momentum-following system that removes emotion, timing stress, and allocation confusion. Use it with discipline, and it becomes a killer tool for rotating into strength—just like a killer hedge fund manager in your pocket.

Hi, I "play" with different retention and sell %, future price prognosis. In the results table, I see the best result when the price is set to auto. For example, my Tesla setting is also on auto with a year PT of 363 USD. If I change Tesla to bullish, the overall results get much worse.. So it means in my selection of stocks I should keep auto setting, even if I believe stocks future prices will be different from those in the auto settings? The question - should we look more to the past or more to the future (which nobody knows?:)

Hi Jacob, can you why the buy signals sometimes trigger and then disappear? Also, what do we do in this instance. TSLA is flashing buy signals and then disappearing multiple times for me today. I’ve see. It before too. Many thanks

I've had the same issue. I did have alert settings on 'once per bar' rather than 'per close' though. Not sure if that changes. Also, have it on a 12hr, which seems to give different results to a 1 day, which I can't figure out as charts don't change.

Thank you team for the blessing of a tool this is.

I don't see the Ticker above the purple signals, so I don't know which stock to buy or sell. does anyone know how to activate them?
