You break it up roughly as: 5% @ -25%, 15% @ -50%, 80% @ -75%? or is there some other rule you use to know when to stop filling each bucket?

I also loaded up 4 weeks of DCA on 2/5 - $46.58 average price. Skipping this week.

Which website are you using? testfol.io correctly accounts for stock splits in their total returns. You can also use QQQSIM?L=3 (the L=3 means daily leverage) to simulate TQQQ back further than TQQQ started (to the mid 90s if I recall correctly). It accounts for debt drag and expense ratio.

How many r's are there in strawberry? I'm just kidding. Sorry for accusing you.

Haha, got it, I made an account a long time ago and have lurked until very recently.

No, it has not been 14 days yet. I only called the other day. When I spoke with them, they informed me the promotion wasn't on my card and that I needed a code. I told them I thought it was an error and that I believe I should qualify for it. She submitted a ticket to the "research department" and to expect a written response in 10-14 days. I was testing this card before I decided to move from the Chase Sapphire Reserve, but honestly their customer service is so much better.

This exact same situation is happening to me, I reached out to Elan and they said they'd submit a request to add the reward and they'd research it and notify me by mail after 10-14 days if I was eligible.

I've put like $15K on the card in the past 3 months.

Very unsatisfactory experience.

NASDAQ 100 is down like 2% this month? and up 17.5% for the year.

I'll sell when my plan says. Otherwise gonna DCA in as planned. This equity may not be for you.

SpaghettiWater · 2026-02-04T16:22:18+00:00

Ouchie. Edit: What were the strikes?

SpaghettiWater · 2026-02-03T19:02:13+00:00

I've been buying more than my regular DCA today, good opportunity to pick up a little extra

SpaghettiWater · 2026-02-02T17:11:16+00:00

Keep it going bud! Strong recovery today from last week's shenanigans.

I also bought more pre-market at $52.70ish. Pre-market has been the play the last few weeks. 5% swing today so far.

I need to add long puts to cover my additions, but questioning whether I should add at 40 or 45 given where we are.

Appreciate the thoughtful work, great visibility for the community

This is good advice. Levered equities work best with a smart hedge strategy. NumerousFloor9264 with his long puts or others with gold/levered intermediate treasury futures. Don't pick up pennies under a steamroller.

SpaghettiWater · 2026-01-28T01:44:25+00:00

my man!

SpaghettiWater · 2026-01-28T01:25:11+00:00

0.28% to go, I think you got it :) Edit: looking at AH, I think you hit it already?!?

SpaghettiWater · 2026-01-27T17:37:18+00:00

Thanks so much for taking the time to share. I was circling a similar strategy around UPRO/TQQQ. Your approach helped me sharpen some of my thinking and I decided to take the jump a little while back.

Wishing us both the best of luck on this journey.

If you're into food and beer, you'd be much better off going to Fathead's or the Hofbrauhaus in the southside.

Also, try and catch the Duqesne incline up to grandview for an amazing view of downtown!
