What is the difference between this website and investing on Autopilot?

This website is for individuals who want to use our Market Signal to independently track and manage their own portfolios.

Investing on Autopilot links your brokerage and places trades automatically.

Can I see Raincheck Fund's previous returns?

Yes! Please see our Case Studies and Performance History sections

Why don’t my returns on Autopilot match exactly what I see in the posts on this website?

This website focuses on determining market sentiment, and analyzing TQQQ during uptrends (or SQQQ during downtrends). Our flagship Autopilot portfolio (Raincheck Fund) is actively managed, and won’t have the same return as a portfolio 100% invested in TQQQ or SQQQ.

All Autopilot subscriber’s returns will differ from one another’s due to many factors including but not limited to: when they subscribed (the date and time their trades executed), if there was any delay due to trade approvals, if they were subject to PDT restrictions, etc.

Wouldn’t I be better off buying and holding TQQQ?

Holding TQQQ long-term is volatile, and subject to extreme fluctuations from which it may take years to recover. Raincheck Fund’s Market Signal keeps you out of the market during these downturns. 

Wouldn’t I be better off buying holding QQQ instead of TQQQ?

It depends on your goals and risk tolerance. Holding QQQ long term is widely accepted as a sound investing strategy. Raincheck Fund’s approach is a higher risk/reward strategy.

What is beta slippage?

Beta-slippage is the performance drag that occurs in leveraged ETFs due to daily rebalancing and compounding, especially in volatile markets. For example, if an asset rises 25% one day and falls 20% the next, its price returns to the original value. However, a 2x leveraged ETF tracking it would lose 10% over the same period.

This happens because leveraged ETFs amplify daily returns, not long-term performance, and volatility magnifies the effect. Beta-slippage isn’t a flaw—it’s the natural outcome of their design. These ETFs are best suited for short-term trading, not long-term holding.
