TQQQ
ProShares UltraPro QQQ
stock NASDAQ ETF

I started accumulating PPTA when it was called Midas Gold. I really focused on it when John Paulson got involved. The stock made me a millionaire all by itself.
The speculation is NAK. It owns the Pebble mine in Alaska, which is the largest deposit of copper, gold and rhenium in the entire world. It has sat undeveloped for 20 years, tangled in regulatory disputes that are in the process of being resolved. While it has already doubled my investment, the upside is ASTOUNDING.
I trade leveraged ETFs in pairs. Silver (AGQ/ZSL). Gold miners (NUGT/DUST). Russell (TNA/TZA). NQ (TQQQ/SQQQ). NG (BOIL/KOLD). Most of the money I was able to put into PPTA and NAK came from my leveraged ETF trading - I made a lot of money in AGQ, for example.
The lessons I learened are to find your interests, strengths and weaknesses, explore your curiosities, exploit the opportunities you encounter, be flexible/adaptable, and drill down HARD when you strike paydirt. I consider myself a mediocre trader and a marginal investor who took care of my retirement as a separate issue and relentlessly pursued wealth with whatever was left. So far, I am a modest success, but have a very comfortable retirement overall. I expect to continue trading the rest of my life, leaving some open positions behind me. Whether I actually become wealthy or not remains to be seen.

For nearly 10 years TQQQ absolutely crushed it's 3x mandate.
It has spent years going up 6x. Sometimes even 9x QQQ.
People say levered ETFs erode over time. But that's not always true. Options skew works both ways. Sometimes producing extraordinary decade long returns.
A decade is kinda long term, isn't it?

TQQQ is not a good long term investment vehicle. In fact, it's BAD for INVESTMENT.

Volume on TQQQ is almost already at the daily average.

Checked out your UlcerShield strategy, and I really respect that you're disclosing your actual trading model instead of keeping it a black box.
The EOD/LOC setup is genuinely cool too, no notes there. But the numbers lose me a bit. Calling it a "5-layer portfolio" feels off since RSI(2/3/5/8/13) on the same price series isn't really diversified, it's more like one mean-reversion bet that just adds on as price drops. Also the thresholds happen to shift for TQQQ vs QQQ/QLD (28 vs 30), which smells like backtest tuning more than a real design choice. And TQQQ wasn't even around before 2010 but the chart starts at 2000, so some of that drawdown number is built on a reconstructed history that might not capture real leveraged decay.
The Ulcer Index claim (2.4-2.9) is the one that really gets me though, that's a tiny number for a leveraged, no-stop-loss system. How are you actually calculating it, on the system's own equity curve or on closed trades only? Without that and a real trade log it's hard to tell if it's legit or just a flattering stat.
Let me know if I've misrepresented anything here, I am fully open to being corrected.

>Will invest my money once TQQQ or something like that reaches all time lows.
You are waiting for TQQQ to reach an all time low to invest?

Fakeouts. Huge selloffs. Gigantic movements intraday with no rhyme or reason. Noticed this since PDT was removed, but the market has extremely volatile at a moment's notice, and too dangerous to daytrade. For me at least. I'm walking away before I lose even more. My daytrading career is over. At least, I broke even for the year. But this is too much. Too much changed at once. This is no better than gambling now. This is truly a casino now and I'm getting out.
I will no longer read the charts or spend my mornings analyzing news. Will invest my money once TQQQ or something like that reaches all time lows. Or I'll wait for another big dip and get into investing.
Thanks for the ride everyone

It only opened 15 min after the real market open. Tried on my computer, multiple browsers, on eToro mobile app. Most symbols were open, just not TQQQ and YINN.
I couldn't sell, market tanked now, fix your stuff eToro..

Hey, I checked and I see the market open: [https://www.etoro.com/markets/TQQQ/feed/](https://www.etoro.com/markets/TQQQ/feed/)
Try refreshing your connection and then the page and see if that resolves it. If you're still having issues feel free to post on r/AskEToroTeam with a screenshot and I can look into it further.

What are you trading? I doubt you will mind many trading vehicles to get that win rate and any time of chart interpretation won't work if you are not using fundamentals. Judging by your Take Profit and Stop losses and you lake of a 99% win rate It seems you are not using fundamentals at all. Maybe you should look into trading vehicles such as SOXL or TQQQ.

> Who put everything into the Nasdaq exactly at the peak.
I never said anything about buying at the peak. I said "if you bought TQQQ 40 years ago".
I mentioned the peak to emphasize that it fell so much from ATH, it's still -71% down from its peak after 26 years.

darf ich dir TQQQ vorstellen, der ist nicht so langweilig

If you put that money into TQQQ you would be up huge sums with less risk. But you are a full regard so that was not possible

TQQQ.

Full ported Friday TQQQ 73C 30 min before close. I will drink soju & listen to Gangnam style on repeat tomorrow if you guys hold the pump.

Add TQQQ

I am retired and I sell CSP's by the boatload--about 20 stocks and TQQQ, equally invested. Close with 20-25% profit. Try to avoid assignment, for no other reason than I failed on my put pricing and lose the money market interest when I own the stock.

Buying DITM options for directional QQQ scalps is killing me. Catch a clean move, then one small spike the wrong way and all gains are gone — even at 0.85 delta. Bid-ask spread blows out the second price moves against you.
Is selling options only option but then margin would be an issue or run spreads properly on a small account.
What are you using? MNQ micros? TQQQ/SQQQ? Something else? What actually works for 1–5 min directional scalps?

I bought TQQQ before the close. Am I rich now?

That's true, but only if you can stomach near 100% drawdowns.
If you bought TQQQ 40 years ago, you'd have a +7738.5% return with a CAGR of 11.52%, but that also means going through a -99.98% drawdown in the dotcom crash, and still being -70% down from the peak after 26 years.
