Capital to trade this $25,000+ Long-only and sized as a share of your account, so more or less capital both work. The published figures use the default 200% position cap — 2:1 Reg T margin — and the model sits at that cap on about 90% of trades, so reproducing them takes a margin account; a cash or IRA account will not. Set maxPositionPct to 100 to run it unleveraged: same logic, lower returns and shallower drawdowns. The same signals also run on QLD or NASDAQ-100 options. Illustrative only — not a recommendation.

How the strategy works

The logic behind the edge.

The QQQ Swing Trading strategy brings the same trend-plus-mean-reversion framework to the NASDAQ 100 ETF, tuned for the stronger momentum and higher volatility of tech. It trades long only: it confirms QQQ is in an uptrend, buys when price deviates significantly from its short-term range, and exits as price reverts toward its average. Volatility-adaptive position sizing scales exposure to conditions, and a user-adjustable stop-loss limits risk. Written and tested in 2016, still trading live.

  1. Confirms QQQ is in a confirmed uptrend.
  2. Buys long when price deviates from its short-term range within that uptrend.
  3. Exits when QQQ reverts to its average price; a user-adjustable, volatility-based stop limits risk.

Every strategy in the RelaxedTrader store is back-tested across a minimum of 10 years of historical market data, with estimated commissions and slippage, before a line of code is sold. If it doesn't hold up under rigorous testing, it doesn't make it to the store.

You receive the complete, fully-annotated EasyLanguage source code — no black boxes, no compiled files. You can read every line, understand every decision, and modify it as your knowledge grows.
