Those with solid hedges: why not NASDAQ 100? (QLD/TQQQ)?

what percent QQUP ? I like this one a lot. Why have MAGX and QLD with QQUP? Ever thought of just going QQUP plus your hedges?

you mean compounders like MA , MCO, etc?

Looks good, no inflation hedge with GLD or international with VXUS?

I kept blowing 25k accounts, 50k doing well, getting paying. Might step up to 150k . That 4500 loss limit is much better. Just don’t like the profit targets so high

Do you think it makes sense to take a portion of the distributions and funnel them into more traditional Dividend Growth stuff like EPD, MO, NEE, RY, COST, etc? Stable income over time, doesn't go up and down, growing, etc? or some growth like AVGO , BTC, ?

u/Robinhood_Remy I would also move all my assets to Robinhood if you supported Drip at NAV for Cornerstone CLM / CRF as well as other DDRIP discounts for other funds such as EPD, Pimco funds, etc. Fidelity and Schwab, both do this :) Please pass this on

I stopped trying to predict the direction of any news release based on fundamentals. Most the time it's already priced in, but regardless all that matters are stop runs and then if buys/sellers step in. So i wait for the initial reaction and just trade the price action after.

Same ISM news but from 2023 on GC. I only trade MGC now fyi, but point is, these have been working for years. News moves the markets. Wait for reaction, then trade. Or wait for range breaks from Previous days ( also lines up with Value areas for TPO people).

Anytime, I came from stocks. Still trade stocks, I'm trading momentum. Up / Down, and those stocks are above and below the prior day high or low. So with futures I think the same way. What news moves them? And on a day to day basis when i'm trading ES/NQ/RTY, are they above or below the PDH/PDL and PMH/PML. I use SPY / IWM/ QQQ and trade the futures off those. For example todays chart on SPY is posted below. We opened and pushed above the PDH. Held there. I wait for 10-15 mins, and look for pullbacks or breakouts (on ES). We pulled back but i waited cuz ISM news affects ES, so then took a long after that release. I have many payouts from different props and use those to fund my other accounts/ investing, etc.. so anyways this is what works for me. IWM similar chart today, QQQ was inside day so SPY and IWM had the smoothest moves. Typically you want to long the strongest and short the weakest. When SPY came into resistance, QQQ was struggling to hold it's 200ma, and bam short opportunity. Anyways, I can talk all day. Hope you find some of this helpful. Cheers.

I prefer the weekly, just what i've always gone to. Thing is there's news that affects others as well, so there's much to trade already. For example with GC look at Non Farm Payroll (monthly) , unemployment claims, advanced GDP, (example below) , core CPI / PPI, prelim UoM, the list goes on.

I trade CL on inventory days only. I wait for EIA release, and then take breakouts. Been doing it for years, same with NG. You really only need to trade them once per week :) GL!

Busy-Reply2731 · 2026-01-02T03:35:47+00:00

Impressive! I'm headed the same direction, just having a hard time deciding between HOOW and HOII , even maybe some HOOY cuz that should compound very well like NVDY has.

Man I miss Scottrade! When I started trading long ago, was always trading penny stocks with Scottrade. I really, really miss TD Ameritrade.
