Did you know?
Market Signal data and cumulative return since the start of the current trend is published on the Current Trend page.
QQQ Benchmark
TQQQ outperformed QQQ by +9.24% over the uptrend. Their returns were +17.85% and +8.61% respectively.
As a ratio however, TQQQ's return was more than 2x QQQ's. For example, a $10,000 investment in TQQQ and QQQ over this timeframe would have returned $1785 and $861 respectively.

Risk Management
Buying and holding TQQQ over the uptrend returned +17.85%. This return is not unsatisfactory, and even outperformed QQQ, but it also leaves some money on the table.
When trading 3x leveraged ETFs, actively managing positions is crucial to maximizing returns and minimizing risk. This section examines how Raincheck Fund's risk management approach earned a higher return than simply buying-and-holding TQQQ during the uptrend (Thurs. Aug. 15th 2024 β Wed. Jan. 8th 2025).
TQQQ β²25.10%
Opening the position:
- Fri. Aug. 16th 2024 - Uptrend is established (2nd consecutive day of positive Market Signal). Deploy 50% of capital;
$68.64at close. - Tues. Sep. 10th 2024 - Uptrend persists (Market Signal remains positive), but price has declined since day π1. Deploy additional 30% of capital to lower cost basis;
$60.70at close.
Using closing prices, average cost is $65.66.
Closing the position:
As a way to lock in profit and reduce risk, profit is taken incrementally at +10%, +20%, and +30% levels.
The remainder of the position is held until the uptrend ends.
- Reference the trend table above to see that
TQQQ's cumulative return crossed the +10%, +20%, and +30% levels on Mon. Oct. 14th 2024, Thurs. Nov. 7th 2024, and Wed. Dec. 11th 2024 respectively. - This position's cost basis (
$65.66) is lowerTQQQ's day π1 closing price ($68.46), so its return on these days will be higher than the values in the trend table'sTQQQ % chgcolumn.

The overall return on this TQQQ position is +25.10%
- Mon. Oct. 14th 2024 - Take Profit. Sell 10% of position for
$76.20(+16.05%) - Thurs. Nov. 7th 2024 - Take Profit. Sell 10% of position for
$82.55(+25.72%) - Wed. Dec. 11th 2024 - Take Profit. Sell 20% for
$89.29(+35.99%) - Wed. Jan. 8th 2025 - Uptrend ends. Sell remaining 60% for
$80.68(+22.88%)
(0.10Γ0.1605)+(0.10Γ0.2572)+(0.20Γ0.3599)+(0.60Γ0.2288) = 0.2510
TBIL β²1.73%
Remember, 80% of the portfolio's capital was allocated to TQQQ. Per Raincheck Fund's approach, the remaining 20% of capital was in TBIL as a hedge.

TBIL ETF delivers a low-risk yield by investing in short-term U.S. Treasury bills, with monthly dividends reflecting current Treasury rates.This position would have received 4 dividends, as TBIL pays dividends monthly, and the uptrend spanned 4+ months (Thurs. Aug. 15th 2024 β Wed. Jan. 8th 2025). Given TBIL's average yield was +5.19% in 2024, this position's return is approximately +1.73%.
0.0519Γ(4/12) = 0.0173
Total Return β²20.43%
A +25.10% return on TQQQ and +1.73% return on TBIL brings the portfolio's total return to +20.43%
(0.80Γ0.2510)+(0.20Γ0.0173) = 0.2043
QQQ's buy-and-hold return.A $10,000 actively managed
TQQQ position returned $2043, while buy-and-hold QQQ returned $861. Actively managing capital allocation and proactively taking profits earned an outsized return compared to buy-and-hold.
This +20.43% return exceeds TQQQ's buy-and-hold return of +17.85% by almost +3%, and QQQ's buy-and-hold return by almost +12%.

TQQQ vs QQQ holdings
