Why whatever you said instead of TQQQ calls

King-Leonidas-SPARTA

100K, to do QQQ you’ll need to use 62K. Newbies will have a difficult time when they are 6K down on a bad day. Yes TQQQ is volatile, however at $5500 lot ets you understand how CC’s work and how to roll contracts if your platform supports Rolling. There are others also but TQQQ is decent with $3-5 swings easy to absorb and roll into profits.

pistachiopias

TQQQ? Idk about that. While premiums may be juicy, it can be easy to get caught with your pants down on a triple levered fund, especially as a newbie. Why not just QQQ? OP has the funds for at least a 100 share lot of that, if not 200. Much more manageable and premiums are also decent.

King-Leonidas-SPARTA

Great Advice! Learn the basics, understand option strategies fully. There are many ETF’s out there that do covered calls with a decent dividend as well as some capital appreciation. TQQQ is the Covered Call I suggest for most people. I’ve been rolling this one weekly now for most of this year. I always plan for a 20% downturn, if you are not prepared to eat a 20% decline stay out of the QQQ, SPY, and TQQQ covered calls.

HugeAd5056

Oh okay. Yeah my assumption was correct then since this is way in excess of $200. Try buying TQQQ options instead. It moves similar to Nasdaq which is similar to SPY, but contract price for ITM options will be much cheaper since the total price ($56.07) is similar to your total budget ($5,000 vs $5607). ITM contracts have intrinsic value based on the above figures. Try TradeGPT to answer specific questions about how it’s calculated… it’s basic arithmetic.

After panic selling April 7th (I did buy back by like May 1st but damage done) I often think of the fact there is almost certainly some dude somewhere on here who was holding SQQQ in April and then TQQQ for the rally. And I hate him and I hope never to meet him.

Gorgenapper

This is what I did. I made a TQQQ trade in 2022 when it dipped a little and bag held -80% at the lowest point on Oct 14th 2022, but it came back and then some. I sold for a profit and have since sworn to be a lot more careful, and pay attention to the Fed before jumping back in.

RSI-Watcher

Any index etf that is at an all time high proves you can hold and make money. Trade the dips, and when you're wrong, don't sell, just hold and wait. You'll eventually go green again. Granted, you won't make money like in the SMX run this week, but you won't lose either. Study a 50 year SPY or QQQ chart, it's dips, and trade UPRO or TQQQ. See how that works. But don't quit. Follow your rules. Remember, in every 1000% small cap runner, there's lots of losers and bag holders. So stay out.

Dense_Ostrich_6077

So you risked $1.2m in collateral for $7932 in profit in one day. (I like the premium on TQQQ as well but Jesus). Did you have a hedge on this position in case of some O/N dump in QQQ?

ElephantFriendly

No, swing trading TQQQ and SQQQ shares. I was invincible for, like 2 months.

What about the TQQQ crash? I'm still waiting for that to happen? Don't get all Michael Burry on us.

internetroamer

Tech etfs would still have had a much much better return. >if you’re so bullish on QQQ, why not go TQQQ I'm a long term investor and TQQQ isn't the best for long term. Because downturns can be catastrophic whereas with tech etfs you can still weather them given the time. Go through 2008 with tqqq and you're done. >The point of VT is to set it and forget it. I set and forget tech etfs like QQQ, MGK, VUG, IGM. Over ~20% annualized return over my portfolio career of 8 years Again if you're in your 20s, 30s and 40s with 10+ years working ahead of you then VT is way too overly cautious But we'll see in hindsight. Like we can look back now and say VT was objectively half the returns of qqq past 5 years and so the wrong decision. Lmk in 2030

thesunriseking

Now do what you’d gain if you had $70k and went all in on VT vs all in on VOO with all dividends set to reinvest and added $100 to your position each month. And if you’re so bullish on QQQ, why not go TQQQ? The point of VT is to set it and forget it.

esInvests

both situation dependent. being long theta has its benefits but broadly will underperform long beta because of the capped profit. I try to balance using both so I can play along with what the market is doing. example - im trading a covered strangle right now in TQQQ which has gone through some sideways periods. I lean more heavily into the option side of the CS during those times to generate returns because the volatility drag of holding a 3x levered ETF while things are rotating sideways isn't ideal,

esInvests

I trade both largely. there are specific profit mechanisms that appear in each asset class. for example, i like to maintain covered strangles in index ETFs like QQQ, IWM, TQQQ, IBIT, etc. these serve as a core position that I trade options around and trend follow with momentum. individual stocks is where I trade things like breakouts, breakdowns, earnings volatility, etc.

Wise_Ad_1641

liquidate everything, open a Openbank HYSA at 4.2% apy, and then come 2027, lump sum TQQQ

Anxious_Cheetah5589

for listed stocks with any kind of volume, you get a fair price MOC or MOO as the market maker matches buyers and sellers. Nasdaq would be a different story, a lot of people trade at the open and close, so you'll probably get a good fill, but no guarantees. TQQQ might be an exceptional case, given its unusual nature. Pegged- to- stock orders are great. Let's say PG is trading at 150, and December 150 puts are quoted at 2.10-2.40. I'll set up a sell order at 2.35, pegged to PG at 150, with delta=50 (this is a percent). So if PG moves to 150.5, my order will move to 2.10. You can even set up a range for the underlying, in this example maybe I would set it from 149-151. (Delta=50 only makes sense around the money. That's how I do it, you can adjust the numbers for different strategies.) Doing it this way, I can set and forget the order after the open, and go do other things. You'll never beat the computers, but this gives you a fighting chance.

AlgoTradingQuant

Bought more TQQQ at first of year and it’s up almost 42% YTD

Fuck TQQQ I want QQQQ. Quad leverage my ass daddy

Krammsy

Earlier conversation with someone else who trades TQQQ over QQQ for the greater extrinsic, but QQQ is far more liquid, also the dailies make it much more lucrative where Theta's always highest on the last day.

rwc5078

Why would you buy optionS on TQQQ? Buy options on QQQ instead. Adding options onto a leveraged ETF does not give you leverage on your leverage.

80delta

Perhaps, but its the price to pay for a guaranteed entry. Its the cost of doing business. I'm targeting bigger moves so its not worth missing my trade fighting over a penny or two, meanwhile the underlying moves the way I thought it would trying for an optimal entry on a limit order. And now I have to pay 10+ cents more. There's less risk of big spikes with diversified holdings like SPY, QQQ, TQQQ. As long as Trump keeps his mouth shut and doesn't get on Truth social.

80delta

If you're buying shares, market order is fine with fast-moving liquid tickers like TQQQ. Options are a different story. The only time I'll do market orders on options is daytrading SPY 0dtes. It moves way too fast, and its liquid enough to get away with without risking you missing the move with a limit order.

TinyMavin

I’m with you and also on TQQQ. The spread can be pretty crazy compared to SPY or QQQ. I always fill like I just got violated when I place an order and it goes through for exactly my limit (without the adjustments). The worst when I place an order with a large spread and one side just slides right to my limit - “oh, I must be the only dumbass trading this”.

lemons714

If you are seeing slippage in things like QQQ or TQQQ, use limits. Typically, if I am trading a liquid, small spread name, I will use market orders, limits with others. Of course, "liquid" and "small spread" are defined personally.

ButterRollercoaster

Broken clock, but the TQQQ one from 60 days ago wasn’t a bad prediction. TQQQ dropped from 54 to 48 shortly after and is at 55 now.

Fhyzikz

Anyone else DCA TQQQ? I started doing that and buying dips and it's actually been pretty nice the past 2 months

joe-re

This is a theoretical answer. Reality is that tqqq (triple leveraged Nasdaq ETF) increased +165% in the last 5 years and 20x in 10 years, beating out qqq handedly. So TQQQ has beaten the returns of the underlying over long timeframes. "Disclaimer: Past performance etc" -- Risk is still crazy.

bajagfjdlbkaoa

scalp TQQQ till friday, sell every 10-15%

PaperHandsTheDip

Just for a counterpoint - although drag exists - over the long term they do tend to drastically outperform as long as markets do go up over the long run. For a 5yr comparison (there was a bear market in there): SPY returned \~85%, SPXL \~222% QQQ returned \~104%, TQQQ \~166% \--- Over a 15 year timeframe, it gets more extreme: SPXL returned \~3600% SPY returned \~600% \--- It gets even more extreme if you go further back in time. As long as markets go up you're fine. If they go sideways for 10 years - you'll lose with the triple leveraged ETFs, yes.

cheddarben

We all run our own race. At 50, you should start to think about maybe being a little risk averse. You still have plenty of time in the market, so consider that. Yes, some people have been trained to 100% TQQQ and have been killing it. Good for them. A day may come where they are gnashing their teeth at that decision. Maybe not. But maybe. I am running my own race. At 51, I still have some pretty risky bets, but I am keeping a close eye on my path to retirement. If my retirement saving were a plane flight, we are still in the air and the seatbelt light is still off, but I am starting to think about getting up to take a leak, as I know the decent is gonna start pretty soon. The connection time to my “withdrawal” is pretty tight, though, so I have that in the back of my mind.

Krammsy

I've tried calendarized spreads with SPXL, but kept hitting mixed liquidity not far from strike, maybe I'll try TQQQ, thanks.

Gorgenapper

This sub is pure entertainment, and further validates the strategy of buying VOO and chilling, with a side dash of TQQQ for excitement.

Guys, 2x leveraged Canadian banks ETF is up 300 percent in the past 5 years. That's better than TQQQ. And with less volatility. Why did nobody tell me that generational wealth was right in my own backyard??

TQQQ my beloved

zwirlo

You didn’t get defrauded but you got ripped off. It is well worth your time to sit down and watch some basic investing/finance videos. The emotions that lead to not wanting to do research cost hundreds of thousands of dollars at the least. You missed out on having $367k in a normal fund like VOO. 2.2 million if you used leveraged funds. But it’s better to have what you have then have lost it all. Second best time to plant a tree right? The broad conservative advice that anyone here worth their salt will tell you that a low-fee, broad market, US-based ETF has beat 9/10 professional investors over 10 years and that number approaches 100% as the time horizon increases. Check out r/bogleheads for more info on this theorem. The difficulty of beating a market index is such a consensus that it has a name, called beating alpha. Because of that there are many low cost SP500 funds to pick from, namely VOO. And honestly even that’s too conservative for me, I use leveraged funds because the market index is do solid. If I were in your position I’d put it all in SSO which is the ideal leveraged and least-sector exposed one. And honestly that’s still too conservative for me I dump my own money into TQQQ.

african_cheetah

Riding on tech isn’t a bad idea. QQQ already captures most of the individual tech holdings so there isn’t much diversification. Tech rally has been strong since 2010. Ride it to the moon if you can tolerate the swings. I personally like QQQ rebalancing automatically. Removes guesswork. I only momentum trade QQQ (and it’s leveraged cousins TQQQ/SQQQ) and long term with GDE on taxable account.

PaperHandsTheDip

It causes short term losses due to decays, I know that. And I outlined a counterpoint that take literally any ETF over a long term and the triple leveraged outperforms. The daily reset causes it to decay over short term vol - but it doesn't impact the long term. It's akin to the cost of borrowing capital (leverage isn't free). So - if the underlying goes down then back up to the same value - the leveraged ETF is not quite back to breakeven. That's the effect - I know. It's "cheap" and very small tho. The impact on the triple leveraged ETF is minimal. It's very similar to taking out a loan and paying interest on it. \--- But that is just short term volatility. As soon as the underlying starts going up (markets do tend to go up on average) the expected returns of the triple leverage is higher. Much higher. Over any large timeframe I looked at (up to 25years) - the triple leveraged ETFs have drastically outperformed. TQQQ is up 25x more than QQQ since it's inception for example. Yes, it loses a little value due to the daily reset - but the total overall effect is very minimal. It's more akin to noise over the long term - which is what I'm looking at. I don't care about short term noise / volatility

PaperHandsTheDip

You'd be up \~25k% if you invested in TQQQ at inception actually, vs \~1k% in QQQ during the same timeframe. I'm considering tossing like a $200k account into triple leveraged things and chilling. We shall sees.

PaperHandsTheDip

What about covid? We saw 30% drawdowns on SPY & QQQ - and TQQQ recovered just fine. Same thing with 2000 and 2008.

PaperHandsTheDip

I just clicked "max" on all. TQQQ is up 25k% since it started & QQQ is up \~1k% in the same timeframe. This just further proves my point.

Traditional_Honey108

SPXL started in 2008 and TQQQ in 2010, so your 25 yrs of data is very impressive

PaperHandsTheDip

You are never forced to sell tho. You just buy and hold TQQQ, for example. Why would I be forced to sell TQQQ? If the fund itself is forced to - that doesn't even matter. It's considered a "down day" and just means you see a drawdown. When it goes the other way you end up ahead. On average markets go up over the long term - meaning it's a winning strategy long term, no?

PaperHandsTheDip

Why would anyone invest in SPY or QQQ over [SPXL](https://etfdb.com/etf/SPXL/) or TQQQ? Over any long timeframe the triple leveraged outperforms, consistently.

PaperHandsTheDip

To add to this: \--- \> **so your example is meaningless.** I used the index as an example since you don't have to pick individual companies. ETFs exist that utilize it for you over a basket of assets (many tripled leveraged ETFs, including TQQQ) use short dated options to obtain leverage. The strategy itself applied to a basket of assets will outperform investing directly into the basket of assets on average. ETFs are baskets of tens to hundreds of companies. You can construct your own basket - of only one company if you like. As long as the basket goes up over the long term - you will outperform. Look at any triple leveraged ETF. They **all** outperform the individual / unleveraged ones over the long term. It's because the cost to borrow capital is cheap relative to how markets perform over the long term. \--- The stock market is known to outperform the housing market on average. People take out \~5x leveraged loans (mortgages) on their homes. Why wouldn't I do the same thing on the stock market - which performs \*higher\* on average? If there is no liquidation risk (obtaining leverage via options) - why wouldn't I?

PaperHandsTheDip

Comes with high volatility trading strategies. So long as you reweight the portfolio every few months (or before expiration using options) - the high leverage can and **will** outperform in the long term. The short term drawdowns (sometimes by as much as 40-50%+) are normal volaility in the portfolios. They'll never go to 0 tho so long as you keep rolling them. They outperform, by a large margin too. In the short term (ie: bear markets, 2-3yrs typically) they will underperform, but as soon as it starts going up again - they drastically outperform making up for all the unrealized losses and more. \--- IE #1: Compare QQQ vs TQQQ over 10yrs QQQ (5yr): 102% QQQ (10yr): \~600% TQQQ (5yr): 160% TQQQ (10yr): \~2300% \--- IE #2: Compare SPY vs SPXL over 10yrs SPY (5yr): 87%: SPY (10yr): \~350% SPXL (5yr): 221% SPXL (10yr): \~950% \--- \> I think his 40% loss is a much better indicator of his trading acumen It's a 40% drawdown, unless he is panic selling things. It's a property of higher leverage strategies. My last few trades had 30-50% drawdowns in the short term but by expiration (2-4 months) were up over 100% each. I should have held longer instead of taking profits - one would have ended up over \~400% here. \--- The literal \*only\* thing that matters with options is the price at expiration if you are playing a long term strategy. Everything inbetween is noise.

Technical_Raisin4061

If you do like a front-loaded DCA strat or just set it and forget it strategy, depending on your time horizon, lets say for long-term 20 years investment you DCA it over lets say 3-5 years to average out your position or just put your position in and then stop investing in it for the remaining years of your time horizon, you reap massive returns But that is only in that scenario, if you would be doing like a normal DCA strategy, or just periodically investing each year some amount, then yes that wouldn't make you much more, or probably even less than a regular QQQ or SPY DCA'd over the same time as the TQQQ since the later positions wipe out your returns from the massively amplified moves (short-term) A lot of people would say it's a stupid idea, but if you really put your position and let it sit for like 20 years then you are taking assymetrical risk, you might lose 100%, but you can easily profit 500% or much more, just depends on how much risk youre able to take

Aware-Picture-397

I'm all in on TQQQ

NilsTheChef

TQQQ can work in specific scenarios, but it's important to understand the mechanics: - TQQQ resets daily, meaning it's designed for short-term holds. In choppy markets, volatility decay is real - if QQQ goes up 1% then down 1%, TQQQ loses value - Your strategy worked well during a strong directional recovery after a significant drop (buying oversold tech) - This approach is timing-dependent and wouldn't work in prolonged sideways or downtrending markets - TQQQ fell ~75% peak-to-trough in 2022, and ~96% during 2008-2009 (backtest models) Your disciplined entry/exit and position sizing were key to success. Most importantly, you understood what you were buying instead of blindly following "never touch leveraged ETFs" advice. Risk management matters most.

EightFolding

I keep 10% TQQQ in my growth-focused brokerage account along with growth and theme etfs, as a kind of mirror of what I do in my IRA but buy and hold ETFs instead of actively managed stocks. The 10% isn't enough to cause a problem but enough to significantly boost returns overall. Higher peaks but the dips are no lower than it would be without it. The past isn't the future, but you could have held QLD or TQQQ for the past decade and done incredibly well, even the worst dips were still higher than the index after you held for at least a year. Keep it small and it's safe. Or set up a system where you exit if it hits the 200ma and re-enter when it crosses back above.

dvdmovie1

The majority of my portfolio is indiviudal names. Occasionally I'll slightly use leveraged index ETFs to dial risk up/down a few degrees but it's always trades. I wouldn't want to own these sorts of things long-term and sit through 80%+ (TQQQ from Nov 21 to Dec 22) drawdowns. Yes, the market will (unless things really go to shit) go higher over time but there will be good years/bad years and there will occasionally be 5-10 year periods where it won't go much of anywhere. If I was going to buy something like this for a more meaningful holding period I'd really want to be doing it when it's April 2025 or Nov/Dec 2022.

stories_from_tejas

High decay yet I’m sitting at 40% annual returns on buying dips on TQQQ. Also up 60% on SOXL.

dlinhat70

Yes, I am doing almost exactly the same. Mostly 10-30 DTE, .05-.08 delta, closing at 20% profit. Also, doing more of this with TQQQ, although I have a lot of barchart 100 stocks in play. during uncertain times, I prefer not having to stare at an option for many, many weeks.

TheBoringInvestor96

I allocated 20% of my account to be available for timing the market, just to help that itch. TQQQ is my favorite one to use. Whenever the underlying QQQ goes down 20% or more, I buy into TQQQ. When the Qs recovered and the TQs are up 100%, I sold half and return the principal back to the boring SPY and let the remaining half run a bit more before closing out. Worked like a charm in 2020, 2022, April 2025.

taxotere

It’d be stupid to put a lot on TQQQ, if you put a small amount (say up to 20% of the total portfolio value) then even if it goes to zero you’re not destroyed.

Good_Ride_2508

You should have posted r/TQQQ r/TradingTQQQ and r/LETFs forums.

baseballer213

Makes sense. This is tactical trading, not buy-and-hold. Using TQQQ as a crash-only booster and scaling out after a double can absolutely work if you nail both entry and exit. The rub is that LETF studies show they crush in clean V-shaped trends but underperform badly in long, choppy or grinding bears, so one 2000/2008-style slog instead of a fast rebound turns that "low risk" play into a permanent drawdown.

TechniCruller

I bought TQQQ in 2017 and now I’m rich as a result. Same decay articles existed in 2017.

reddorickt

TQQQ is a gold mine if held through periods of a predominantly bull market. It will destroy you if we have a real downturn.

huyou007

You are right. I don't advocate buy and hold TQQQ. It's more about using TQQQ as an accelerated investment vehicle during market crashes. As soon as it gave 100% returns (or less depending on how deep it crashed), I started unloading gradually.

huyou007

You are exactly correct. At least this is a discussion. I initially posted in r/ValueInvesting and everyone was scared seeing TQQQ. Guessing bottom is hard, but identifying oversold situation is not too hard. If you spread your money across six months to catch the bottom, it mostly will work out. Another way is just look at QQQ history, start buying at 20% drop almost guarantees great returns (provided no fundamental changes in those big tech)

baseballer213

Congrats on the timing, but you are confusing a winning trade with a sustainable strategy. Calling volatility decay "exaggerated" is mathematically false; in flat or choppy markets, TQQQ bleeds capital while the underlying index stays stable. I work in data too, and my models confirmed that unless you perfectly time the bottom like you did in 2022, the drawdown risk outweighs the alpha. Treat this like a 3-leg parlay, not a retirement plan.

PapaCharlie9

No. TQQQ and QQQ are different assets. By the same reasoning, you can't use VOO shares as collateral for SPY CCs, even though VOO and SPY are both S&P 500 ETFs. The short QQQ calls will be naked shorts.

ChocolatePenguin

Honestly it sounds like you are talking about 9sig. The problem is properly timing the market. You can check out Jason Kelly and his performance selling TQQQ as profits rise and transferring to bonds and then selling bonds to buy more TQQQ as the price drops. I have not tried the system yet myself, but there is a whole sub reddit of people discussing it. Personally it sounds like something you try AFTER a big downturn. Not when everything has just had massive gains.

Livid_Cost_8378

Can TQQQ be used as collateral for QQQ Covered Calls? I am a beginner investor using IBKR. I have a question about margin treatment and strategy execution.I am thinking about the following setup: Buy a position in TQQQ (with a dollar value equivalent to holding 100 shares of QQQ). Sell 3 QQQ Call contracts (Since TQQQ is 3x leveraged, my logic is that this matches the exposure). Does IBKR consider this a Covered Call strategy? Or will the system treat the QQQ calls as "Naked Calls" (Uncovered) because the tickers are different?

I can assure you nothing on testfolio is broken. Remember, this is $500 a month invested into TQQQ since 1995, with that $500 adjusted for inflation as time goes on, so it will always eventually "recover". In theory. But yes, you need balls of steel. QLD / Nasdaq 2x is probably more palatable for most normal humans.

garden_speech

Holy fuck those drawdowns. I think the biggest problem with this strategy is the gut-wrenching drawdowns. You had to watch your portfolio go from 1.7 MILLION down to 7 THOUSAND dollars. And then wait like 10 years to start seeing growth again, and then when you saw growth hold up to 9 million and then see it crash to 1 again.. crazy shit. Also the drawdowns plot appears broken? Below the returns chart. It looks like it shows the TQQQ strategy never recovering after 2000, but it clearly did..
