Automated Trading Platform

Trade Smarter, Not Harder

Automated TQQQ/SQQQ trading bot powered by QQQ technical indicators

Choose your risk level, set your strategy, and let the bot execute trades automatically after market close

How It Works

Our bot uses proven technical indicators to automatically execute trades based on QQQ's position relative to its 50-day moving average

Aggressive Strategy

TQQQ/SQQQ

Always in the market - go long on bullish signals, short on bearish signals. Higher risk, higher potential returns.

↑Bull Signal: QQQ above 50-day SMA for 2+ days → Buy TQQQ (when VIX ≤ 30)

↓Bear Signal: QQQ below 50-day SMA for 2+ days → Buy SQQQ (max 3 days holding, then switch to cash)

Conservative Strategy

TQQQ/Cash

Lower risk approach - only go long on bullish signals, stay in cash during downtrends. Avoids short positions.

↑Bull Signal: QQQ above 50-day SMA for 2+ days → Buy TQQQ

→Bear Signal: QQQ below 50-day SMA for 2+ days → Stay in Cash
