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.

What's your strategy on AMDL swing trades? Moving averages, opening range breakouts, something else? Granted lots of stuff would have worked long over the last year given how clean AMD has consolidated and broken higher. For context, I also have a large AMD buy and hold position (35k shares), swing trade TQQQ and daytrade SOXL. I've tried swinging AMDL in the past, made some money, but could never come up with entry/exit criteria I was satisfied with.
1.23M between SOXL and TQQQ - let it ride https://preview.redd.it/u08urj5xokrh1.jpeg?width=702&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96b283029d35be366bbfec7aa71461ae6a03b8e2
Market hovering around ATH, Hormuz is spicy, rates are up / 10Y highest in \~20 years......fuck it, TQQQ and SOXL
Remember when TQQQ would instant go down like $2 just because of shit happening in Korea?
Me too 😂😭 I only put a couple hundred in but goddamn I’m not touching leveraged ETFs again unless it’s TQQQ
Infinite money glitch unlocked: sell TQQQ puts with stonks are going up, calls when stineks are going down.
Sold my TQQQ, been holding that way too long
I mean all good, but should i yes or no have 100% of my money in 4x btc and TQQQ?
**80/270 EMA strategy**: **Signal:** QQQ daily **80-day EMA vs. 270-day EMA** **80 > 270:** 100% **TQQQ** **80 ≤ 270:** 100% **cash** **Execution:** Trade **next trading day** after the signal changes **DCA:** Add **$100/month only while in cash** Backtesting looks wild even from 1999 before dot com but who knows how next 27 years will go.
guy i know got margin called on TQQQ, lost 50k before payday
Full margin TQQQ is gonna make me so fucking rich
I somehow made 11% on SPY and 20% on TQQQ with 1dte puts today lol This market is a joke. Shit looks like a blow off top.
It’s a good day to have 25% of my port in $TQQQ
u know what's the funny thing? GOOGL and TQQQ charts look almost exactly the same
TQQQ almost 3% premarket wtf man
I lost 3k Friday on TQQQ puts. Thursday was so green I figured some sort of mini pull back… but no. Fuck me
I've moved all my investments in QQQ (NASDAQ) QLD (2x) and TQQQ (3X) into S&P Technology Select Sector Index and ROM (2x SP500 Tech index) for just this reason and I'm already performing better. Vote with your wallet/portfolio.
Or leveraged QQQ (QLD is 2x) for "less" risk seeing as QQQ is holding above the 50 day. If you have a bigger risk appetite you could try TQQQ but man that 3x really hurts on down days
TQQQ keeps pumping in AH
I don't think they would approve of full porting SOXL and TQQQ tho.
Wait for a dip then margin the fuck out of SOXL or TQQQ. Take a profit, wait for the tip to dip a bit and margin the fuck out of SOXS or SQQQ. Take profit. Rince and repeat.
If you do, just buy TQQQ right away. Then you'll be set /s
What are the odds of TQQQ jumping to 78 and SQQQ shrinking to 35 tomorrow before close?
TQQQ. Sell covered puts below market. If market really tanks take position and sell covered calls at cost.
God TQQQ is a thirst trap rn *bites lip*
*hovering finger over the TQQQ buy button*
Pick your poison on any ETF really SPY QQQ SPX IWM More leverage with stuff like SOXL or TQQQ SQQQ Or gamble on some specific tickers that get blasted on here like MU or classic stuff like TSLA
I told all fucks to go long. Many many times last night. Anyways, should I sell these 50 TQQQ 70c calls I bought at close yesterday for 25c each? There only up 300%
I want to share this with you, SSO is a leveraged ETF that's been running since 2006 and TQQQ is a leveraged ETF that's been running since 2010; SSO tracks the S&P while TQQQ tracks the NASDAQ. Since 2006 The S&P has gained 600% while the ETF SSO has gained 1,450%, likewise since 2010 the NASDAQ has gained 1,600% while the ETF TQQQ has gained 34,000%.
last chance to get in on TQQQ before lockout rally
Not every 2x fund is TQQQ
\^ exactly. Over the longterm the leveraged etfs ALWAYS underperform their underlying asset. Otherwise anyone could have bought TQQQ and beat QQQ.
> TQQQ That's a leveraged fund. You're not supposed to hold those for longer than a day. Over time they decay due to their volatility and borrowing costs.
DCA into TQQQ and thank me in 20 years!
Do it so I can load up on TQQQ
Hey citadel and your wall st. PDF friends my stop loss for TQQQ is at 55 worth 5 million dollars. Come get your money by driving the market down. It’s your favorite retail liquidity that gives you the same effect as adrenochrome. Maybe I’ll give you a behind the counter deal too for my fire sale wink wink.
Hello my fellow regards, I made some money from TQQQ 🥰 I will not be around today as I’m clawing through the new Wolverine game. An early hello to the cutie u/Moepenmoes as well!
Can't get link to open or need to register. Theres Notional Leverage GDE,RSSt, etc... and Real Leverage UPRO, TQQQ. etc.. and Fake Leverage = Margin or other borrowing. Notional is fine, the others have their pitfalls but also have their advantages, ie. Inverse Leverage, Shorting, etc.... Keep reading and you will find what works best for you... GL
I learned I covered TQQQ at 7pm CDT at 68.48 last night after shorting 71.08 on Fri afternoon
My TQQQ puts doubled :wow:
ironically, my homosexuality has saved me from having this big red TQQQ candle up my ass
says king of TQQQ, but you are is bear? 😯
shorting again before open is brave with that much TQQQ on the line, but 2.6k green on the day is nothing to sneeze at. take the win and sleep, the market always gives another shot tomorrow
bought 2k worth of TQQQ puts on friday. I need a Black Monday tmrw
Not if I do it over a weekend like this. Long term, heck yes you’d rather be short TQQQ. It’s the principle of it though. I CANNOT BE LONG
honest question, is there an advantage of shorting TQQQ vs buying SQQQ?
OP is a known fearmonger [https://www.reddit.com/r/TQQQ/s/L4CAgGeCuI](https://www.reddit.com/r/TQQQ/s/L4CAgGeCuI)
Why not just buy SQQQ? Won’t you pay a fee to borrow TQQQ?
You shorted 22,000 TQQQ shares? Trading212 doesnt let me but holy fuk this should print right?
I can short the same dollar value in TQQQ as QQQ but it’s triple levered. But, the funny thing is, Schwab lets me short the same amount of SNDK in dollar terms as TQQQ, when I could blow up a million times easier shorting SNDK. Ask me how I know…
I’m curious, why short TQQQ instead of QQQ? Does your broker not account for TQQQ leverage when calculating margin requirement?
Green is green bro, leverage it with TQQQ: up 3% today
Red day today. Luckily I hedged by $TQQQ long by shorting $SQQQ so I should be good
I’d separate high leverage from high convexity because they behave very differently when things go wrong. TQQQ plus options gives you path dependency from the underlying and option Greeks on top while micros are much cleaner if what you really want is controlled leverage. I’ve occasionally sanity checked those payoff paths in Moon before choosing between structures and the biggest difference usually shows up in the ugly scenarios rather than the expected one.
OP sounds like he is barely green after blowing up his account selling calls on TQQQ lol
TQQQ bankruptcy speedrun
According to [Portfolio Visualizer](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio#analysisResults) using a max length backtest, 10k invested in QQQ was worth 64,569 and the same 10k invested in TQQQ was worth 285,550 which is like what 4.5x of what QQQ was worth? That's even after an 80% drawdown in TQQQ. According to proponents of the rather misguided "decay will always kill you" theory, this shouldn't be possible.
i made 19.5% today with calls on $TQQQ
TQQQ go up and down though. It's fun
TQQQ is 3x QQQ on daily movement, not over the course of years. QQQ is up 90% on the 5 year chart, TQQQ is up 98%, not 270%. Covered calls is not high growth high risk. use https://optionstrat.com/ or similar if you are interested in how different strats perform
TQQQ has 20x the options OI than UPRO. Early in my options "career", I remember getting a UPRO put, way OTM with a nice premium dated 1/2027 (this was a year and a half ago). It had only my contracts and one other. So the guy with the other set the ask to 2x or more the strike. I could not close it without losing big time. It was frozen for a year.
Yeah TQQQ, but buy OTM calls, and make sure they're 0dte, and at market open, and go all in.
Yes TQQQ call options, both buy and sell.
I turned $120k into $550k with GME back in the short squeeze. Drove that up to $620k. Then proceeded to basically the same thing as you over the next year or so. It feels really fucking awful. I get it. I rolled a 401k into an IRA and was able to trade with it back in Oct 2024. Since then I am up 125%. I’m at $530k now. Many people would say that I’m still far too aggressive with my investments but I’m behind schedule and I don’t see an alternative if I want to retire. Here’s a few things I’ve learned that helped me change my strategy: 1. Options are bad. It’s just really hard to make money on them and the siren song of 5x-10x gains is really dangerous if you have a gambling addiction. Turn them off. 2. With 100k you can swing trade TQQQ, SQQQ etc and if you’re decent at reading the market, you can make money on these trades more than you can with options. It’s pretty easy to make $300 in a day with $100k using this strategy. If you do that pretty repeatedly for a year you’ll make 50-60% on your portfolio. 3. Buy & Hold: find some stocks you believe in, buy them when they’re beat up, and wait. I’m up 175% on IOVA, 165% on LEU, 190% on AMD, 140% on SNOW, 85% on GOOG, 30% on MSFT. 4. Don’t make your positions too big for your portfolio. Buy into things with 2-5% of your portfolio. If you have to buy the dip a few times this lets it grow to maybe 5-7%. If the position is relatively huge you will stress out about it. When you find a winner that small position can become a major driver of returns. 5. Relative to your past experience you need to be patient. If you can get 30-40% on your portfolio in a year you are absolutely killing it. Most people can’t get that. Don’t try to get that in a few weeks anymore. 6. Use this sub for sentiment analysis not investment ideas. Inverting this sub is surprisingly effective. meme stocks are especially dangerous and you should steer clear of them. There’s a lot of manipulation going on in here. In summary: with $100k in your pocket, you’re not fucked. It’s just money and if you slow down and stop gambling you can get ahead.
TQQQ $71P exp wed. Hoping the rich people are displeased with Iranian tankers being obliterated
Blow off top loading. Grab your MSTU, SOXL, GDXU, TQQQ. Don't get too greedy though! This may only last until end of october. Could also last until year end. If spy sits at 950 by year end for the love of god go full cash.
I held some TQQQ over the weekend. We could have a war or oil improvement. Can't get worse really. Imo
TECL. Has made me a lot of money over the last year. Unlike TQQQ it wont have overvalued AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic until they are profitable. No SpaceX either. The Iran stuff is causing some instability obviously. So you could wait for a better entry point. I see it dropping some more.
Friendship with SQQQ ended, I am now back together with TQQQ
Friendship with TQQQ ended, now I am BFFs with SQQQ
u best be right friend, I just bought TQQQ
Tomorrow will be TQQQ time. Data will be fake as shit.
Buying TQQQ right now is like buying bitcoin in 2011
Makes sense, I just sold a TQQQ call right above my average for $20
TQQQ wiped my profits for yesterday and then I paper handed DELL
this is why I always hedge my positions: half my port is long TQQQ half my port is short SQQQ
Wonder how that TQQQ guy is doing, his port must be being chopped to shitt rn
SOXL or TQQQ otm bets for end of week?
I just bought some TQQQ wish me luck
I def don’t have any insider info and I mostly agree with you. But some people make such foolish trades that I’m so happy to be on the other side, taking the theoretical risk and I think that’s why I outperform. I do own ETFs like SPY and TQQQ as a base.
The TQQQ chart determined that was a lie
I've been selling em with TQQQ, still fun, less risk. But I did have to buy 100 shares on Friday. Damn it.
Buffet is such a noob, he should just DCA a billion dollars a day into TQQQ and chill
I'm longing $TQQQ and I'm hedging that by shorting $SQQQ
There go my TQQQ puts. Fuck you, you dip buying assholes.
