TQQQ trade ideas
TQQQ, SHORT Stopped out on my TQQQ long today and we put in a wedge drop so even though I may not be super confident in the trade here with recent strength hints from the bulls , it's still a downtrading market, we did put in a higher low but not a higher high and still important for me to simply take the short signal .
Entry is right at todays close
25.93 in
Stop 27.27
PT 1 , 25.01 , sell 1/4 , stop to half risk
Pt 2 , 23.79 , sell 1/4 , stop same
run balance if possible ..
Personally , I kind of feel like we might be transitioning from a down trend to a range .. and that we might have put in a bottom on the 16th of June already ?? Now perhaps with todays failure by the bulls , some sideways chop seems likely .
found double bottom, no break out yetweve strongly supported a level twice but each time we were equally rejected as previous lows tested as resistance, slightly trending lower woth green days in red territory. themost likely scenario is if we retest recent highs as resistance, and make a lower high compared to a tightwning range over the past week or more. 25.82 is a lever to watch for a bull break targeting 26.25 - 25.05 is a level to watch for a bear break looking toward 24.54
sss and qqe are now singaling green
Revised Model Wednesday 7.13.22Normal Wednesdays are trending with a pump til 10, and then drop to a chop at 12:30. Even if price action is not a match on Wednesday, it is always a good idea to avoid the historical chop. I will grade and score the model at the end of the day Wednesday.
Tomorrow should be very interesting with CPI data being published. Happy Trading!
Thursday Model 7.14.22Thursday's model.
I won't be lectured by someone who has no quantitative background in forecasting, or ridicules the forecasting methodologies of the top Forbes 500 companies I have consulted. Models are tested daily. The history is the baseline to feed the model and project going forward. I don't have the time or energy to backtest each model I build and manually account for with special events--something a Pine Script can never do. If you want to build something better, then do it.

Revised Tuesday Model for 7.12.22This model excludes Tuesday data from 7.5 as it preceded FOMC minute publication and occurred after a 3 day holiday weekend.
Look to take advantage of early morning market, with possible pump followed by a drop. Try to exit before 11:15 where historical chops occur. Best to re-enter market after 2:45.
Patterns are lagging. The pattern can hold true whether the market closes up or down.
TQQQ , LONG ( early starter ) Although a slightly weaker open we still are above the 10/21 ema's and I am rooting for the bulls to keep price above them .
Will try to de risk this completely while keeping half the shares by the time and " if " we can get to the 50 sma where . That way if we close above the 50 , I'll still hold half these shares , which will be de-risked , and I can add another buy on a close above the 50.
Stop 26.15
PT 1 - 28.49 sell 1/4 and raise stop to half risk
PT 2 - 29.79 , sell another 1/4
run balance , just because clause and or a wedge drop exit
Monday model for 7.11Model is marked with swing points. I have also added a VWAP model with 4 standard deviation bands versus the price action. Notes on the model show how price returns to neutral throughout the day.
Note that we have had two Monday holidays recently - Juneteenth and July 4th holiday. So the most recent data we have for this pattern is 6/27. Be wary on Monday, as the lack of recent data could mean a significant shift in pattern could be taking place and the model is behind.
Models are built from exported Trading View data and built in Excel. These are intra-day patterns only and do not predict price action.
Happy Trading!
TQQQ how could anyone resist If you believe in the future of the market, if your in the market and staying in, then wouldn't it be very smart to get the tqqq at these prices right now considering how close we are around a bottom. Just from how low it is off from where it was, which is where the market was according to the QQQ ETF is an incredibly good deal and discount. If you believe in the future of the market then that clearly means this, the QQQ will recover, and thus the TQQQ will recover along side at 3x the Leveraged rate. I have been accumulating shares every time its red. I'm down but it does not matter since my price target is back at Novemeber 2021 levels. The same goes for UPRO and UDOW. And is say FNGU and SOXL and NAIL. Their sectors are to significant to not eventually recover.
TQQQ: Looking like a no-brainer buy, or is that the trap?NASDAQ:TQQQ Chart should show well enough what I'm conveying here. Either it rebounds from here, along with crypto and all the other indeces across markets, or we see lower lows, that reaches back into the March 2020 fear levels.
Model for Friday 7.8.12Historically, Fridays are a ranging market. This pattern is very different from the Holiday Weekend Friday pattern we had on July 1st - that is stored as a special holiday pattern. I look for tomorrow to resume a RANGED structure. Looks like there could be a big move in the morning (either up or down) and then reversal with somewhat flat movement into the close. Look for RANGE strategies to succeed.
This model excludes July 1st data, as that was a holiday weekend. That pattern is separate.
either/or nasdaq breakout or bullltrapif we break out in tqqq above the 28.50 level, id be long targeting the 32.33 area. if we break down below 24.10 however id look to short it down to around 20.11. nothing fancy here but you can see we are on the verge of breaking out in the nasdaq, and if we fail this resistance area it will probably take us much lower.
Revised Thursday Model for 7.7.22I have posted last week's original model, and the actual data from 6.30 that was averaged into the model for Thursday 7.7. Look for a rise until 11:50 AM with a drop until 12:15, followed by a gradual slow rise to end of day.
No time tonight to draw pretty lines for you all. Hope this helps everyone. Again--patterns shift over time, so always follow price action.
WED FOMC Pattern 7.6 Post-Mortem AnalysisI have updated the FOMC Minutes Model with today's actual data, and posted the charts for comparison. When looking at the actual data from today, you can see that the overall pattern held up quite well. It's not a perfect match, but it was never intended to be. We are looking for overall patterns and swing points. The pattern actually informed some key swing moments, including the 1150 AM drop, a slow rise in price towards minutes publication, the post publication rise, and then drop.
Wed Pattern with FOMC minutes 7.5This is a pattern analyzing Wednesdays where FOMC minutes are released using TQQQ.
Assumptions and Overview:
1) History predicts future
2) Note two chop zones, but by far the more severe one is at 1250 to 115
3) 1150 AM is high point
4) Note that when minutes are released there is spike in volume, and two contradicting volatile candles.
5) The price action after the minutes are published could be very different from the pattern. Depending on the information.
6) Data includes 7.7.21, 8.18.21, 10.13.21, 11.24.21 - all with a flat average. Then includes the following with .15 Moving Weighted Averages: 1.5.22, 2.16.22, 4.6.22, 5.25.22.
Always follow price action. Happy Trading!
Tuesday After Holiday Pattern for 7.5.22This is an updated Tuesday Holiday Model (for Tuesdays following a three day weekend). This model averages in the most recent holiday data from Juneteenth (recognized June 20). The drops tend to fall at the exact algo sell zones - 10:30 AM, but the end of day drop tends to come earlier at 3:10.
Note that the chop zones on Tuesdays are typically very flat, and very severe eating away any profits you may be attempting to scalp. Chop Zones are typically from 1240 to 205 historically, but be mindful of the dangerous Tuesday chop, and use a momentum indicator to spot chops in case this zone shifts.
Happy Trading!

Friday before long weekend for 7.1This model averages the last 6 Fridays that fell on long weekend, including July 2nd of 2021. The first four holidays are a SMA, and the last two holidays using a moving weighted average. Last holiday averaged in is Memorial Day Weekend 2022.
Using Momentum Indicator to identify chop zonesIf you are a short term scalper, then chop zones can be your bane and take all your profits. Using the Momentum Indicator, you can identify the propensity for chop zones early by adding some trend lines.
The Momentum indicator starts with the assumption that as the chart line moves towards zero, the more choppy and less momentum the market is moving. However, we need some guidelines to identify thresholds above and below zero for choppy areas. Using July 1st as an exemplar, I have plotted chop zones that correlate with the momentum indicator. In this particular case, I added trend lines at 0.15, 0, and -0.15 as prime chop zones. When the indicator is in this range, it is best to wait for breakouts if you are scalping. Try this method on your own charts to identify prime chop zones and tweak it if necessary. However, I plan on using these chop thresholds going forward.
guessing a gap down will be for buyinga gap down in the nasdaq makes the most sense to me at this point, and i would guess that if we buy that up and defend the $23- high $22s we sould revisit TRAMA and get VWMA to change directions targeting high $23s - low $24s which is also around the .618 of the daily bounce retracement
Thursday Model for 6.30 TQQQUpdated Thursday model for TQQQ for this Thursday. Again, actual data can vary widely from the model. Look at swing points and chop zones.

Time to Buy Stocks? TQQQ Analysis -73% There is something to be said about speculation.
Here we have the QQQ 3X fund, testing a key area. Not only are we testing a key area, but "large-risk" (largER anyway) is currently sitting -68% from the all time high.... Even more weird, when the whole world economy was shut down in 2020, TQQQ contracted -73.28%; oddly enough, at least in this view... we bounced at... -73.28%. (these measurements could be off by a few percentage points I just measured it once and they happened to be the same measurement.
Anyway, this looks like a good risk reward entry. I have bought and will continue to provide updates. For now, I have bought with the expectation that price will test the all time high from here.
God bless.
big orders bumping around triple qsusing order flow analysis and a volume profile you can see that a lot of action around the upper 24s has led to a bounce in the nasdaq and TQQQ 3x is a great way of capturing that. if we hold $24.58 and break $24.81 we should see that $25.86 level again no problem. envelope is flattening out, so id imagine this bounce has legs as long as were not seeing outflow on this etf.
