About this strategy

About TQQQ Aspire
The TQQQ Aspire Strategy is based on a statistical computer model whose signals are designed to be efficiently traded utilizing C2’s Auto-Trading technology. This Strategy uses the leveraged ETF TQQQ which is highly correlated to the Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX).

Position Entry… occurs after reaching an entry point above the Open price. This entry is based on statistical input based on volatility and momentum calculations.

Stop Loss… protection to the downside is also calculated on a statistical basis. The targeted Stop Loss is designed for no more that a 1.5% loss. Obviously the Stop Loss can be slightly higher due to market movement and slippage duing volatile market periods.

Profit Taker… a key aspect of this strategy is the Profit Taker that statistically calculates the optimal exit point based on over 3,000 days of TQQQ data.

No Overnight Positions… No positions are held overnight or weekends.

One Entry Position per Day… Only one position is entered on a daily basis.

Position size… Position size is calculated based on current statistical parameters. As an example, if TQQQ price movement is more pronounced, a Stop Loss greater that 1.5% will adjust the Position Size to keep to the 1.5% Stop Loss target.

Design changes has held drawdown percentages to less than 12% starting in January 2022.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
