DISCIPLINED APPROACH
When the fund enters any trade, it does so with a 1% stop loss and a 3% take profit bracket order. Over 290 trades since inception, the system has been right roughly 50% of the time. This 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio has resulted in an average gain of 2% per trade.
SHORT TERM TRADES
There are between 2-4 trades per week and the average trade is typically no more than four hours in length. We look at 7 different technical indicators over numerous time horizons to make the decision to enter a trade.
Note: Performance is derived from actual trade alerts made in the model portfolio over this time period. Not back-tested.
We only trade the Proshares Ultrapro QQQ (TQQQ) long when the market goes up and it's countercyclical inverse SQQQ when the market goes down. These ETFs provide a 3x leveraged position on the Nasdaq 100 Index so when the market moves 1%, these ETFs move 3%.
The fund is in a cash position over 90% of the time so access to liquidity is higher than most hedge funds.
When it comes to investing, risk management is just as important as returns. With a three year Sharpe ratio of 1.15 , our model portfolio has proven to generate higher risk-adjusted returns than the S&P 500 , which only has a Sharpe ratio of 0.67 over the same period. This 71% difference means that with QTrade, you're gaining more return for each unit of risk taken. It’s not just about outperforming the market—it's about doing so with significantly less risk.
