About this strategy

Here is a brief introduction to my trading style and some cool data associated with my trading.

I position trade only $TQQQ and $SQQQ. I am in $TQQQ during uptrends and $SQQQ in downtrends. The position size of TQQQ and SQQQ depends on how extended $NDX is. I have a total of 7 systems. 1 momentum long(only TQQQ), 1 mean reversion short(only SQQQ), 3 mean reversion longs(only TQQQ) and 2 momentum shorts(SQQQ). Here are some characteristics of my system.

1) I am a 100% long/short systematic trader, meaning the entries, exits and position size etc are all determined by predefined set of rules that make up system/model. This does not need any input from me or anybody else. This is purely based on price and no macro/fundamentals. My entire trading operation including order placements, position size calculation is fully automated and it does not need any time from me at all.

2) My system is EOD based. It only makes one decision towards the end of the trading day(10 minutes before market closes). It determines how much TQQQ/SQQQ that my portfolio should be holding at that moment. My system has an average of 2 trades per week and the number of trades per month are roughly 10 trades. So it does not produce too many trades and that's nice as it needs less time to execute.

3) I use MovingAverages(20 and 250) to determine the trend and use how far the price is from those MAs to determine how extended $NDX. Based on that, my system determines how much TQQQ/SQQQ I should be holding.

4) I also use Bollinger Bands to determine if $NDX is in a momentum phase so that I can use a heavier position size during that momentum phase to reap more gains.

5) I backtested my strategy over 40 years of $NDX and used a synthetic TQQQ /SQQQ in back tests as TQQQ/SQQQ was created in 2010.

6) My backtested CAGR is around 80% with max drawdown of 49%. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

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.
