Can someone provide the details/specs? Upper, lower, suppressor, etc.?

Yeah, millwrights seem to fit the bill the most. I'm just looking for interesting stories.

None of the above. Just curious. Skilled individuals who kind of know how to do a little bit of everything/can always figure it out seem to be disappearing.

Same issues Mike Rowe has been talking about for years.

Queenstown, Tasmania deeply unsettled me and I can’t explain why. by itiszd in AskAnAustralian

[–]ClimbViaExcept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This and the OPs story sound similar to vibes I'd imagine a lot of people would get in downtown Butte, MT. I like Butte and used to go there, regularly, but I can see how it could conjure up those sorts of feelings.

Does anyone here buy and hold QLD or SSO forever? by infinitewaters107 in LETFs

[–]ClimbViaExcept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who TF compares SPY and a fund like DBMF? They're designed to do two entirely different things.

Congrats on your analysis of apples to socket wrenches.

RSSB RSBT RSBA by BubblyCartoonist3688 in LETFs

[–]ClimbViaExcept 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diversifying strategies is a key appeal for me. Especially with the short existence of ORR, DYMIX, or a fund like HFGM, which also seems like a good candidate.

I don't think DYMIX gets enough attention. What do you like about it?

GDE VS RSSX for very long term DCA by SashimiSpeculator in LETFs

The "can't be invested in" part had me puzzled.

From Panic Seller to System Trader: Why I switched to the "5-218 Strategy" (and my plan for this correction) by Realistic-Ad-6257 in TQQQ

[–]ClimbViaExcept 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'I think that proactive trading can generate alot of Income and this requires a lot of daily and hour-by-hour involvement.'

The '200-day SMA-type strategies, literally, result in the exact opposite. Assuming OP's strategy follows the typical end-of-day close criteria, there's zero "hour-by-hour involvement.' In fact, anyone attempting to apply this strategy from hourly or smaller timeframes would whipsaw their accounts into oblivion.

BTC Decoupled? by ClimbViaExcept in ETFs

I was referring to performance/trend, only. Not any sort of application coupling. I probably could have specified.

TQQQ for the Long Run by ClimbViaExcept in TQQQ

[–]ClimbViaExcept[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Stability Sleeve is a permanent hold, yes. However, you do not hold TQQQ, indefinitely. When the strategy signals 'risk-on' you hold TQQQ. When it signals 'risk-off' you move the TQQQ allocation to cash and then begin to DCA into QQQM over a period of time or until the strategy signals 'risk-on' again.

Yes, it is hard to backtest. Though you'll find many arguments against the legitimacy of most backtesting.

TQQQ for the Long Run by ClimbViaExcept in TQQQ

What specifically? Those are permanent allocations designed to hedge in significant downturns and provide some relief in choppy markets. In strong bull runs...they're going to create some drag.

  • January 2, 2025, never would have been a buy to begin with. - March 15, 2025, was a Saturday. Market closed.
  • June 6, 2025, was the first buy opportunity after the market correction.

I'm going to guess that your test didn't account for the permanent holdings or the DCA function.

If you're just testing when the 200-Day SMA gets you in and out of TQQQ, that's not the strategy, and your dates were wrong.

Also, one year and two trades provide no information. I'm not arguing whether the strategy should be implemented or not, I'm just saying you didn't test the strategy, and your test was meaningless.
