Grade = how their written analysis reads (A best). Trader score = how their last-20 timestamped calls performed vs SPY. · Analyst brief as of 2026-06-22.
Across their last 20 scored bets: 70% hit rate, +0.35% mean alpha, trader score +0.69. Their last-14d mentions, direction-adjusted, have moved +2.3% since posting (mean over 20 mentions with price data).
Sam Gatlin is mostly trading technical breakouts and squeeze setups across healthcare, materials, global ETFs, and selected cyclicals, with PSCH as the clearest long call and ACN as the clearest short. His distinctive read is that breadth is improving in overlooked groups like small-cap healthcare, European financials, copper miners, and heavily shorted stocks, while China large-caps and software lag. Late-window posts broadened from specific ETF breakouts into broader rotation and short-interest squeeze signals.
Conviction this week is concentrated in technical breakouts, especially PSCH, healthcare and biotech ETFs, global financial or country ETF strength, and materials/copper setups. The bearish side is more selective, centered on ACN and ADBE in software plus repeated weakness in FXI. There are few explicit trade disclosures, so most conviction comes from directional calls and repeated chart-based attention rather than stated sizing.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
