QQQ Range Rider
A rules-based approach to short-term oversold conditions in QQQ.
What the structure is designed to do.
This strategy focuses on QQQ, the exchange-traded fund that tracks the Nasdaq-100. It looks for short-term oversold conditions rather than buying continuously, with the aim of entering after market weakness.
Internal Bar Strength (IBS) is part of the entry and exit framework. Signals, exposure and exits should be evaluated together; a high historical win rate does not remove drawdown risk.
