I've been playing around with a few portfolio ideas on TestFol.io and ended up with five different versions that combine Fama-French Small Cap Value, leveraged ETFs, and trend following. They're all backtested from 1988-2025, and I'd love to hear what people think.

Cannot beat the market but leverages are showing massive gains over market as far we can look back. Some can argue on imaginary backward projections, but the rules have changed to prevent sharp drops.

Triple leveraged ETF, TQQQ or SOXL are spooky ones. Basically buys QQQ or SOXX and triples the daily returns (or losses) and compounds exponentially. They're fun to fuck around with, but don't put too much into them. nfa.
Imagine if you bought TQQQ calls on Sunday night
lol you can buy shares of TQQQ 24 hours a day big dawg
I’m buying TQQQ at the open. Good idea or bad?
18k spread evenly across AAPL and AMD, followed by 20k in TQQQ
AMD kinda scared me, but my semi thesis still holds. Just turns out nvidia gets the business instead... soxl is mostly flat despite AMD missing ER's and tanking hard. Diversification for the win! TQQQ is definitely "safer" than SOXL, less volatile anyhow.
That's funny I haven't gotten nay sort of warning for being a million deep into TQQQ from last week around the same time (same broker) You'll probably make more money than I will with SOXL but I couldn't sleep at night if I put that much money into something like that
u/imsolost3090 The backtests shows that what it comes to broad index ETF’s like SOXL, TQQQ, etc that you’re often better off doing DCA. As long as you can stomach the visual drawdowns without selling that is…
half TQQQ, half BTAL and go live your life
Pump continues tomorrow boys or no? Looks like bag7 and semi are pretty reasonably priced at this point so I’m considering going VT and chill rather than TQQQ
Exactly AMD not doing so great after hours - will pulldown the whole segment. China memory advancement brings down the whole segment. UPRO and TQQQ are easier to stomach imo.
well that applies to TQQQ and UPRO as well
TQQQ and UPRO looking good today. Easier than picking a solo winner
My friend who doesn't trade is letting Claude manage his port and he's in on TQQQ right now. top is in
just look at my history, I went fat long TQQQ April 1st. Silly bear
TQQQ is only +10% this rally just started
TQQQ 0dtes You won't. No balls.
Why not use SOXL instead if you have high conviction? I trade both at various times depending on my conviction, but I only use the SOXX and SMH charts for setups. I do the same with QQQ and TQQQ.
All of that are my thoughts exactly. I do TQQQ and SQQQ though instead
Oh good. I've been selling calls on my TQQQ shares, I'm probably going to lose them on friday. So I was thinking I could just sell puts. But I'm not gay.
Wait till you have TQQQ on your portfolio
Try TQQQ, 11 yr holder here. 5 Heart attacks... yet still kickin, 1,130% up.
I just don’t see an avenue where TQQQ rips tmrw after the forward rate and green yesterday
If you think QQQ OR TQQQ you prolly like trump
Except QLD, TQQQ, ROM, etc. etc. have all vastly outperformed even the most sophisticated hedgefunds over the past 15+ years
TQQQ +18% in 3 trading days lmao
anyone else mainly in QQQ/TQQQ and still down on the month? Port went from 27k -> 18k -> 23k still got a few thousands to go before it evens out
Hey TQQQ imma need you to stay below $68 on Friday, bro.
Added TQQQ call on last Thursday.
I bought TQQQ, we are going down soon.
Hehe I have 10k in mine and I've been dabbling in TQQQ and selling covered calls. It's not much but it's honest work.
Listen up, you beautiful degens. The U.S. and Japanese governments are aggressively teaming up to nuke the USD/JPY currency pair, and your stock portfolio might be collateral damage this Monday. Do not mistake overnight green futures for safety. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Japan's Satsuki Katayama literally just threatened further aggressive joint interventions to crush the dollar against the yen. Hedge funds are currently sitting on massive, ticking-time-bomb short positions on the Yen that face an immediate squeeze. If the USD/JPY currency pair breaks below 156 during US hours, the liquidity drain begins. Load up on 0DTE NVDA or TQQQ Puts the exact second the S&P 500 breaks its morning highs, catching the hedge fund forced-liquidation waterfall.... 😆 Fuk like always
No idea. I'm in a couple triple leveraged funds right now (SOXL, TQQQ). Generally I buy into them in bear markets & wait for reversals. After a "decent" reversal - I deleverage and remain long / invested. It'll work out just fine.
I tried long short TQQQ and short TMF dollar cost averaging in starting in 2021 cuz I read about it on Reddit and lost a ton of money.
Mercedes is for QQQ. Porsche is for QLD. Lambo is for TQQQ.
Koreans would be buying TQQQ calls on margin. My entire HSA is TQQQ and it's up 300% lol
If it was TQQQ he would be in a Lambo
Yes. I did ok with what I call "$12 specials" which were plentiful up until a year or two ago. And yes, they were out in time and otm but alao a strong trend. Now, more chop, less trend, so more risky to go that route. And in or close to the $, requires higher dollars than I'm willing to risk on one trade, with a.), higher chop, and b.), likely less reward, ror-wise. Not to mention, the spreads. The mm's move the ask way up, if the underlying heads lower. So, that keeps buyers out, and holders stuck, with no hope for buyers. That is based on the published bid/ask. Something I've found you can still trade within the spread. All in all, too many variables involved. So, look at TQQQ, a levered etf with generally tight spreads, more rare than not (from what I've seen, anyway). However, market conditions are still the same, and there's the higher dollar price for at or near the money entry. As an aside, but related to all the mentions about it here in the comments, what if fractional shares, for whatever reason, went away? Including for crypto. And for all etf's, which for now anyway can still be attained by most investors. How would trading, and market access look then?
VT, a small % of cash to deploy to TQQQ after big sell-offs.
Holy fuck you all are bipolar. TQQQ is down like a dollar since this morning.
Sold my TQQQ at close. It’s dropping after hours. Honestly when do I buy back? Now?
Most guys are like you. I moved \~50% of my folio into triple leveraged ETFs. TQQQ, SOXL are my largest positions as of EOD today.
Some of us bought the dip tho o.O. I bought a bag of SOXL & TQQQ on weds and more EOD today.
SOXL & TQQQ gonna carry my ass to valhalla.
I appreciate what you are doing TQQQ, but if you could just be sure and be right below $68 on Friday so I don't lose a hundred shares. That would be great.
Had a 600% gain on a huge play with TQQQ that’s my last time doing options I’m still going to use margin and leverage ETFs but that win was big enough to satisfy my appetite
**BanBet Created** ▼ | **Record:** 3W - 2L | Ticker | Target | Entry | Move | Expires | |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | **TQQQ** | $61.62 (below) | $64.26 | -4.1% | Aug 7, 1:22 AM |
If you don't buy now, you're going to miss out. All in 100% on TQQQ and up massive today
I ain’t touching TQQQ with a ten foot pole! That thing nuked itself when Iran kicked off. SOX though? Fuck it yeah why not, it has so much room to grow.
I bought a bag \~102, averaged up today at 115, and averaging up again tomorrow. Hoping to get a \~110 average entry into it. My average into TQQQ is \~60.
I am in it, yes. \~50% of my folio is split between SOXL & TQQQ right now. Lots
I bought the dip, on triple leverage yesterday + today. SOXL & TQQQ
I heavily bought SOXL & TQQQ yesterday and today.
OP, I want to get into ES futures for so long. Can you please walk me through your process? Most importantly, how much capital are you risking? I am following a similar approach but with TQQQ/SQQQ and the yield is not where I'd like it to be.
cheers, I like this DD. So AAPL might be a buy in the next week or two. Currently sitting happy in TQQQ & SOXL (SOXL is my heaviest bag)
I'm also sticking to index ETFs brother SOXL and TQQQ, the height of diversification and safety 🥰
I bought a heavy bag of SOXL yesterday and another bag today. It's triple leveraged semi ETF - it is down \~65-70% over the last month. Basically TQQQ but for semis - it works the same. If memory goes up its going to be a 2-300% ROI by end of august. It wouldn't surprise me if we see it jump to 4-500+ by EOY if memory runs again.
Why trade putts on TQQQ and not SQQQ?
Holding 300 shares of TQQQ just threw 10k into SGOV
I'm in shambles with my TQQQ 9% day
Stop being a gay bear. Buy TQQQ shares on the dips, and sell the rips
my strat has been buying at 4H chart low to red RSI levels on the indices and trimming at mid and high rsi levels on the same chart. problem is TQQQ has been eating my dick for breakfast everyday at 930 am
No. You are describing it as simple leverage without the decay. That’s different than what TQQQ is. It’s not just leverage. Leverage can make sense. Holding for a year exposes you to decay you otherwise don’t have to expose to, hence why anyone holding for a year doesn’t know anything.
Anyone else loaded up on TQQQ after the dip
VOO and SPY are basically the same S&P 500 exposure in different wrappers. VOO is cheaper for long-term holding, while SPY is more useful for active trading and options. TQQQ is a completely different product—it targets 3x the **daily** return of the Nasdaq-100 and resets every day. It isn’t simply “QQQ with three times the long-term return,” because volatility and the path the market takes matter. If this is retirement money, TQQQ probably shouldn’t be treated as a core index fund.
nah here you go here's my rationale when TQQQ 14 months ago. Market bottom was obvious looking at 2022 and 2020 for comparison you just gotta know what to look for [https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1jwr2m7/comment/mmkpomz/?context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/1jwr2m7/comment/mmkpomz/?context=3)
Holding TQQQ for a year isn't uninformed gambling, it's simply paying fee to take additional risk when the markets are in the gutter. I've done it about 3 cycles now and it's never a significant portion of my portfolio. Most people will never feel the satisfaction of selling TQQQ with longterm capital gains tax and that's okay but it is pretty funny
between July 11 and now, I've lost 30%+ of my port just holding TQQQ shit my pants right?
my port drops between 3-6% daily now. insane. idk what to do with myself. holding this stupid TQQQ has fucked me more than anything this year. I was looking for return to 80's to start trimming. Fuck me I guess, no end in sight.
Lol you're scarin me now. I lost a ton of money day trading, but figured id stack into TQQQ for some leverage with the remainder of my money. Boy am I sweating now. Dont wanna watch this 18k turn into 5k lol.
Probably need ro hold a short position as a hedge..SQQQ or SOXL should work if you insist on holding the TQQQ
Nothing to sell, I literally just hold shares of TQQQ
Hilarious part of it all was that, I went on a multi week trip with my GF when all this crazy upside started kicking off, so I sold CC against my 3x position to just try and find some middle ground. Unfucked myself halfway through the trip after missing out on a bunch of gains, but, still, My port went from something like 15k to near 30k. Back down to 17k in this past week or two just holding shares of TQQQ, and 2000$ in GOOGL leaps. Fuck me right? No love for my money.
I just added too much on the upside, leaving myself little room to add on the downside. I just hold TQQQ right now, and have been for a while. I guess It's not horrendous but, idk, I piled in too much at the high side and have little room for this low side. If we dip to 40/50 level i'll be very upset
anyways, im down from 27k to 18k in the port just holding TQQQ kinda wanna shoot my dick off
DCA into TQQQ and come out ahead of VOO regardless in the long run. My TQQQ position from a year ago is only up 28%, really sucks right now.
Anyone holding a triple leverage ETF of any kind, longer than a month, is simply an uninformed gambler. It’s the easiest way to get wiped out. Go look at most of them, they are all fairly new. Why? They delete every ETF that doesn’t make it through the crashes and make new ones. So the ones that even make it as far as TQQQ are all from the last time they died, like the 2008 crisis. QQQ won’t go under, but TQQQ or SQQQ will over years.
ya, it'll be fine. I punted \~450k CAD into triple leveraged etf's today for semis (SOXL & TQQQ). Those are gonna print hard.
I bought \~$300k CAD of SOXL and \~$150k CAD of TQQQ which is basically calls.
Sometime in the next \~2 weeks, yes. Which means --- everyone thinks that and we bounce sooner. So I bought SOXL today. It is heavily correlated & you gotta frontrun that flow as that's how you buy the dip (successfully). Currently sitting on -8%, but w/e. I'm buying more tomorrow and more on friday. Gonna average down till then. Something to remember - is that the korean admin is having emergency meetings to address the sudden drop in their stock market. It's like if the S&P500 fell 40% in a month. The US admin would be shitting bricks / doing everything in their power to turn that around. Korea is no different... they'll figure something out. So yah - imo we are close. I also bought some TQQQ today. Down \~3% on that atm.
When Kospi brings TQQQ back down to $66, i'm going all in...with limit sell at $67. 🤭
When do we full port TQQQ
TQQQ is a way to 3x your retardation
It's literally about you buying TQQQ at the top. Thanks a lot, retard.
And just like that my journey into DCAing TQQQ begins
