My $TQQQ model triggered a BullDip BUY signal (oversold pullback in uptrend) after Friday's close. The buy order will execute at Monday's market open. Max historical loss for the BullDip family was -12.7% in 2018 (when an 8% hard stop triggered a next-open exit into a gap down).
$QQQ: 5 straight down days, -5.52%.
Since 1999, 7 similar cases: 5-day loss of 4–8%, still above the 140-DMA.
Avg forward returns:
- 1 day: +0.30%
- 1 week: +2.40%
- 6 months: +15.59% (6 complete cases)
Small sample. Recovery can still begin with more downside.
The last precedent of a BullDip making a big move after a FreshHighReversalSHORT in my model was in late 2016 off the ATH. May trigger tomorrow after close if $TQQQ drops.
Historically, this entry family has a 55.6% win rate, with an avg. gain of +21.8% and avg. loss of -4.5%.
When @dryan310 talks, I listen.
R/R alone cannot tell you whether a trade has an edge. Expectancy can.
A tight stop at a "key inflection point" may improve R/R while reducing win rate.
E = P(win) × Avg Win − P(loss) × Avg Loss
Until the probabilities and payoffs support it, the "edge" is still just a story.
Only one trade in the last week. I don’t want to find a needle in a haystack.I want to throw darts when everything is flying high.

My long-term $TQQQ trend-following model triggered a FreshHighReversal Short Sell signal after the close, signaling a short entry at tomorrow's open and a 4-day time exit. Historically, this entry family boasts an 81.8% win rate, with an avg. gain of +5.4% and avg. loss of -2.8%.
Market regime flipped to GREEN for the first time since June 9th, with group participation showing steady improvement.
Druckenmiller on Soros:
“He’s the best loss taker I’ve ever seen. He doesn’t care whether he wins or loses a trade. If a trade doesn’t work, he’s confident enough about his ability to win on other trades that he can easily walk away from a loss.”
This is where you want to be.

Rules Rules Rules…as Bill used to say
Webby Rambles On #90 Rules! Drops Saturday
Here are my rules that Bill dug back in 2000
What confuses me is the lack of participation. Although $QQQ is yelling at me to get in, I think the next couple of weeks will be crucial for trend confirmation. I'm holding my current positions tight and willing to be flexible if market conditions change.
When everyone is screaming that the world is coming to an end and market sentiment hits extreme fear, look at what the market is actually telling us.
If your @Muse can't make voice calls for you, ask it to send a request to the Muse team to 'dogfood' it (Meta internal jargon).
