Still holding my core positions. Have had a bullish portfolio for the last week or so. Sold my TQQQ a couple days ago. Today I put about 35% of my port into SQQQ Over the course of the day. Have about 25% in cash. The rest of this week should be interesting.
Sell all of it and buy 0DTE calls on TQQQ.
Been holding TQQQ since the forties..I'm thinking I'm gonna hold and hedge with the 50p 5/16.. Then if earnings dump, I'll sell it in AH and likely make back what I lost with the put
I'm about too. Got some TQQQ at 54.40 and watching it bleed out on the table slowly
dude just swing trade TQQQ, worst case write CC until price rebound
I'm right there with you. I went long in TQQQ the other day and averaged down until I got too scared of a leg down coming and sold. I missed out on a random V that would have put me well over breakeven and into decent profit. It really sucks
You are not alone bro, this is not free market economy, this is controlled by group of people. They are stilling our monew because they play the game in the background. I am in TQQQ in a big shit, I can't get out. If a good news, I lose my shares when I buy back.
tbh you're better off buying TQQQ then any crypto
You'll inherently be drawn towards high-risk products this way. Like the highest performer every year will always be something leveraged. It'll be something leveraged long on good years and leveraged short on bad ones. Putting all your money in TQQQ at the start of 2022 just because it doubled in 2021 would have seen you lose 3/4 of your money across 2022, for example. The short version crushed it that year. But if you had bought into the short leveraged fund at the start of 2023 because of how it did in 2022, you'd lose even more than 2/3 by the start of 2024.
I think I'll just start to DCA into TQQQ and check back in a year. Can't deal with this shit
bought TQQQ at the top, instantly down 100 bucks. I'm gonna hold though. being bullish has been the right call for the last 16 years, regardless of how grim things look.
I've been bearish this whole time but I bought a lot of TQQQ about 10 minutes ago. I don't think that was the top, I'm going to diamond hands and never sell, because this market seems to always bail out dip buyers no matter what.
every dip bought up within hours. I'm going to average into TQQQ, starting today
TQQQ to 75 Nvidia to 150 Tesla to 300  
5/15 TQQQ shorted the calls. Feel your pain!
OP is a total gambling addict from the looks of things. He's heavily into TQQQ so he just wants to push the idea that lowering interest rates will solve things. It's the entire purpose of this thread, not just a misunderstanding.
im going all in on TQQQ today. I don't fucking care anymore. I will buy TQQQ, I will hold with diamond hands, and I'll be rich like warren buffett.
TQQQ is leveraged (x3). Greater returns (or losses) for the same moves.
Add some TQQQ calls for extra pizass.
Go look at the chart for TQQQ
I’m having a real strong desire to sell my TQQQ. I’m basically even on it at this point but I’m losing faith
Does that make your trades any different or something? I never understand the "show me your trades" sentiment. I have a lot of TQQQ at $44, TSLL at $8 - and bought a ton of new long positions on 4/8 that are up 10% total. The bottom is in - it was obvious who was going to blink first and it's even more obvious why the chaos is happening. The market over-reacted and got caught unwinding.
I’ll never forget the money I lost from buying TQQQ puts in May 2020
01/26 $20 TQQQ puts. I might be highly regarded, but probably won't know until next year so it's ok I guess.
why not just trade TQQQ? at least you have the shares for CC when you lose
If u insist u can try TQQQ options stocks in the 50s
TQQQ is not inverse QQQ, just 3x leveraged
Sitting on a handful of 5/2 TQQQ puts that I bought right at the end of the day. Fingers crossed…? Seems as effective as any actual analysis these days.
Get calls / puts on a leveraged product. I like SQQQ and TQQQ. You will get vaporized if you pick the wrong direction though. 
Well because of the movement today I've made money on both TQQQ and SQQQ calls. Now if I didn't paper hand my META puts too early I'd have had a green day.... oh well
I'm with you chief I got hit with it on Friday. Bought TQQQ calls right at the top and META puts at the 2pm dip
Ya i turned on a bunch of notifications so I would swap it to TQQQ right away but the volatility isn't worth it. Tried Wednesday after liberation day, was up like 5% then Trump paused the tariffs and it dropped like 12% inside of 30s
Weekly TQQQ calls if it doesn't dump by 10
Alright, the bulls got me. If we are still green by 10am I'll buy TQQQ calls.
Someone just fired off a full $1 stop loss raid on TQQQ. Thats 2% of the price. They picked up a lot of shares. Calls?
Peak capitulation of put sellers + Earnings Holding up + Tarrifs staying in place just say one the Look ahead to the future and sell any spike Personally I'm eyeballing TQQQ to overreact and the sell
Get something like JEPI if you’re risk adverse, or TQQQ if you have a strong stomach, then let it sit until you have time to learn more about investing.
Regards think they can use TQQQ like their bank account
I’m thinking about switching allocation to 40% goog 30% spy 30% TQQQ
Ya some like the SPY 2x or TQQQ won't decay and will overpreform but I'm talking about things like 2x Tesla and 2x MSTR, etc.. I'm talking about single underlying ETF's
Especially tempting when you see that pattern on TQQQ. Looking at the five-year chart and you see that it goes from $20-$80 twice just in the last five years. It has recently dropped from $80-$50 – and if you’re looking for a repeat of this chart, then that would mean we are about halfway down to the bottom now. That old saying about history not repeating, but rhyming. Sure it might stay down at the bottom for longer, and sure it might take much longer to get back to $80 (like literally waiting out this second Trump presidency) – but if I see TQQQ down at $20 again, then it would be very tempting to buy and hold and park a significant amount of cash in that.
I mean for starters the fact that what this chart shows is a 12-year long historically anomalous bull market followed by three years of utterly terrible performance by TQQQ. Like I remember when there was a ton of buzz around inverse VIX ETN called XIV because it did amazing for most of the Obama administration but it literally does not exist anymore because it went to 0. The second problem is you are not bothering to compare the performance of TQQQ to LEAPS.
Maybe I'm missing something, when I look at a long term chart of TQQQ vs QQQ it looks like TQQQ massively outperforms, despite slippage and some brutal drawdowns. TQQQ in blue, QQQ's returns in pink barely visible. Similar results comparing SPY to UPRO. What am I missing? https://preview.redd.it/rctcbyjcigxe1.png?width=1544&format=png&auto=webp&s=869ad0a6ffe55a255195170c5131167bec4df276
Well if we open green I sell my META puts and I'll buy TQQQ weekly calls. If we open Red then I'll also sell my META puts. That's my plan
Take a look at a long-term comparison chart of TQQQ vs QQQ or UPRO and SPY. The leveraged ETFs outperform significantly even after slippage. Yes, there's more risk, but also more reward, that's a given. I prefer leverage etfs for swing trades, not buy and hold. But assuming markets continue to have a bullish bias as they have historically, buy and hold leveraged index funds on market pullbacks is pretty much a no-brainer. Seems like there are some myths and superstitions about these products, much as there are about options.
Yes, which is really fun when TQQQ and SQQQ are both red.
I was going to argue with this but then I checked and saw TQQQ still has more than 6x the AUM of SQQQ. And just as a sanity check... rebalancing leveraged bull ETFs at EOD when the underlying goes down results in further selling, right?
Jan 1 2022 was the peak of TQQQ before it dropped to $30 a share, 15-20 pre split… educated yourself, you’re def the high one….
Right now I’m only holding TQQQ shares. Cost basis is 40
na man look at what happened to TQQQ when it crash in 2022 it went down like 90% cuz the market dropped like 20-30%
I can't believe I sold the literal bottom of TQQQ three weeks ago.
There are definitely situations where the 3x or 2x stock ETFs will underperform. QQW last 1 year: +10.6% TQQQ last 1 year: -0.2%
Thank you brother. $100k is actually my goal and I'll just buy TQQQ at a good point, 2x or 3x it in a year or so then buy dividend stocks
nah, it's just overbought crap. TQQQ was up more
TQQQ is *not* for people who don't want to monitor
2/3rds cash, 1/3rd daytrading and/ or holding $SPY. It isn’t a perfect science and volatility is scary to handle but I came to the realization that being on the sidelines will cause you to miss out on profit, like last week. I am keeping a close eye on $SPY, $TQQQ, $TSLQ, and $SGOV. Market crashes? I got cash to buy $SPY and $TQQQ cheaper! Market rebounds? I get some profit off of what I own! Lose my job? None of this matters anymore!
Spy 200MA on the weekly then was going to ride the market up with TQQQ no matter how long it took
Not true. At the very least, SPXL and TQQQ have outperformed spy and qqq long term.
While I do sort of agree with this, it’s worth noting TQQQ has outperformed QQQ quite dramatically over the past 5 years which last would consider longterm. 122% for QQQ to 231% for TQQQ.
TQQQ looking mighty fine in that summer dress...
TQQQ TSLL Be careful with the strikes you choose overtime never go below the previous one and the average cost at the assignment price. Use a tracker. I never did this whole wheel thing.
Trading options is ok within reason. Leveraged ETF’s underperform the underlying over a long span of time. Leveraged ETF’s are meant for quick in and out, not long term. Check out the TQQQ sub,..
Case in point… I had TQQQ and sold covered calls at a $52 strike. They were assigned yesterday at $52 even though the underlying asset is currently at $53.91 give or take. So I missed out on that little bit of profit, minus the premium I received.
>I gambled in NVDL and TQQQ, and when I lost a lot due to tariff war, I moved to SQQQ and market flew up, so I lost even more. There are several crucial things you were mistaken from the very start. You *gambled* and *blamed* tariff war. Leveraged will *melt your money* during volatile market. Not understanding this, you went from one leveraged to another.
"I gambled in NVDL and TQQQ, and when I lost due to tarriff war" Add this guy to RFK's autism list
You're meant to get TQQQ and SQQQ at the same time so you never lose money
Sorry to chime in here but can't agree with this one. I've turned $3k into $42k over an earnings period of 2 months. You need to be picking the right companies, understand how the market perceives them and go big or gtfo of the market. Risk is risk, big or small. Start with less, have less to lose and have less to cry about. A fearless trader is the best trader in my opinion. If you lose, you learn from your mistakes. Paper trading is NOT the same at all no matter what people say. I would rather not trade at all than paper trade. I started with trading stocks and then moved onto options and futures. I trade both and it's always challenging and I'm not always profitable on my trades but I break even or take a minimal loss. But my wins are very big and I'm usually predicting the proper entries most of the time based on studying charts and being reactive to news and market sentiment. A ton of retail traders have caught on to how the market moves since covid. Now a days, the volatility makes the moves sometimes predictable especially futures. All I trade is the QQQs and that's all I've ever trade. TQQQ, SQQQ options and micro ES futures. Get good at these and you'll never want to trade anything else. Try, fail, study the charts, over and over and over again and learn how the candles move with the volume, macd and vwap which is all I use. I mostly trade with 1 contract on es micro and 2 contracts with options. That's all you've got to do and can average $80k a year at least being consistent. Some years less and some more. Just try, fail and try again! Years of practice will get you there. I'm not against trading groups but your best advocate is YOU. Nobody else can create the edge that works for your trading style. Learn from others but most of all, learn from yourself!
My position is to avoid significant losses I would have had in TQQQ since January/February. I just dodged a 50% drop and don't regret it for a second
it's just fucking soul crushing holding puts here. i'm going to full port TQQQ if we go up again on Monday. fucking clown ass market.
I only sell cash secured puts but if I had a long term timeline I would honestly just average into TQQQ and SOXL if holding shares of anything didn't make me go full regard
I went all in on one of my ROTH on TQQQ and UPRO on Monday and am now up 30%
I was in TQQQ from years before until January, made away quite handsomely compared to investing in gold.
This is absolutely hilarious language. OP blames….due to the “ tarriff war” losing money. Then goes “I gambled in NVDL and TQQQ and when I lost DUE TO THE TARRIFF WAR. Hahahahahahahhahahahhahahaha YOU GAMBLED!!!! High risk::high reward. You took the risk side of the equation gambled and lost. Don’t blame anyone but YOU.
Yeah I can’t believe TQQQ bounced from $40 to $50 this week. We need to go down a lot further. And yes $20 is the entry point to load the boat on TQQQ. The pattern on SOXL shows that it will ride the bottom for like 90 days before going back up, so I’ll dabble with some call option Leaps on SOXL for now while I wait for TQQQ to dip further. CURE is interesting. Not leveraged like the others but health care is going to get wild in the coming years. You’re practically revamping my watch list, man! Thanks 🙏
Dude's in SQQQ and TQQQ and somehow is down in both.
much safer to ride the wave with TQQQ
Naw it’s fine it’s TQQQ or SQQQ just rotate between them
short IWM and SOXL while hedging with TQQQ/FNGA
TQQQ is a lot slower than the other ETF’s, but a safer ETF to invest in. I wouldn’t invest in TQQQ yet because SOXL is cheaper. I would invest in SOXL and wait for TQQQ to hit $20 and then invest all my money into it. It’s all about timing and trying to guess the bottom of a ETF. SOXL is still super cheap right now so I would invest in that over any other stock. There’s a lot of other ETF’s on my list that I’m waiting on. For example CURE for healthcare, JETS for airlines, NAIL for homebuilders and housing market, and YINN for Chinese market. If any of those hit rock bottom then I would invest in those.
Thank you very much for explaining this. I was looking at TQQQ as well because it does a fairly consistent run from around $20 – up to $80, twice in the last five years just like SOXL. But TQQQ is currently down from $80-$50, and I was hoping it would continue to plummet down to $20. According to the pattern on TQQQ, you would think it’s only halfway down and has a lot further to fall.
Just buy and keep, I tried that shit of TQQQ, SQQQ, TSDD and so on.. always lost a lot of money then I started to keep in long term normal stocks and i am good now
Technically matching deltas of a TQQQ and QQQ option should have the same % of success and TQQQ will be priced appropriately since it’s known it’s leveraged
In my head cannon he got 0DTE TQQQ options lol
I just use $20 and $30 as an example. Sometimes I go in at different price points, but the technique is the same. I don’t really have a time frame because stocks are very unpredictable and lots of things can affect the stock market like interest rates, inflation, wars, pandemics, etc etc. You just have to try and time it right. I know nobody can predict the bottom 100% of the time, but I think you can strategically guess close to it with certain stocks like SOXL, TQQQ, JETS, and FNGA. If you see stocks crashing for months, it has to go up eventually. Maybe not individual company stocks, but ETF’s that have a broader range in one big sector.
0DTE QQQ options have more leverage than TQQQ stock, and if he had options the premium is priced-in.
Guys just buy TQQQ or any leveraged ETF now.nfa
Loss on SQQQ and TQQQ is the icing on the cake.
Slow and steady wins the race. I had a $2000 test account to dip my toes in the water and I blew it up in a year. Now I do the odd low risk high reward options play (using TQQQ) but since Trumps inauguration I pulled almost all my USD investments and placed all investments in mostly in logical steady Canadian ETF's and stocks. Just take your $3K and buy low risk shares in ETF's. I'm Canadian so this might not be super helpful but I've just been buying ZGQ, ZCN and BRK (BRK-B on the NYSE). ZCN gives a nice dividend, ZGQ gives me exposure to international companies and BRK gives no dividend but Warren Buffet is a straight G and I trust his intuition more than my own feeble mind.
buy SQQQ when the market is down and then switch to TQQQ when the market is up, always one step behind like a true regard. text book definition of buy high sell low.
Maybe he should put is programming knowledge to use and do a backtest of TQQQ and develop a real strategy because TQQQ can be very profitable if you use indicators to avoid the massive drawdowns.
Bought TQQQ then sold as it dipped and bought SQQQ then repeat. Shits so ass
Not only using leveraged ETFs at the top but switching to INVERSE leveraged ETFs after a 50% drop in TQQQ and then having the audacity to say “I’m not stupid”
My TQQQ buys around 35-40 are in the stratosphere right now when VIX was at 50
