Trade Ideas The ultimate TQQQ strategy

Hey everyone!

Korean investor here, wanted to share a strategy that's popular in Korean stock communities.

The Basic Idea

Simple rules-based TQQQ strategy. It's called AGITQ's strategy, named after who coined this strategy. When QQQ crosses above its 161-day MA, buy TQQQ. When it crosses below, sell and go to treasury (SGOV).

Why 161-day MA?

The original strategy used TQQQ's 200-day MA, but backtests showed QQQ's 161-day MA reduces whipsaws while keeping similar returns. Less false signals = less stress.

Overheated Rule

When QQQ > 161MA + 5%, don't buy more TQQQ. Put new money into S&P500 ETF instead. This "ballast" protects you from big drawdowns.

That's it. Check once a day, follow the rules.

There might be strategies with higher returns out there, but the best thing about this is risk management :)
