Analysis: 9sig - quarterly rebalancing - optimal growth target

I am diving into the 9sig strategy, and seeing some fascinating results when changing the parameter

With above parameters being default for 9sig, I've run simulations on the synthesised data in order to find what was the optimal growth line.
And, surprise it's 9% .

With 100k invested in 1938 - you'd get the most with 9% target line

But it's not that simple, strangely if you start with 80/20 cash/TQQQ allocation, then 13% becomes the optimal growth target

The optimal growth target also seems to be dependent on parked cash interest.

In my case, parked cash pays up to 9% yearly interest, when parked for a quarter and in that case, 5% target becomes the most optimal

TQQQ was introduced in 2010, what if we have followed 9sig from that point?

We'd have insane gains, but we'd still not beat buy & hold

But by only changing the target from 9% to 13%

We would beat the buy-hold most of them time in history, while keeping lower drawdown rate

I am yet to fully explore other parameter variations, but wanted to share my findings early

Analysis: 15 Sig is insane

Same rules as 9sig, but underlaying ETF is QQQ5 instead of TQQQ and you target 15% growth, instead of 9%.

And it has insane gains compared to just buying and holding (either TQQQ or QQQ5), with 54.9% CAGR over last 16 years (mostly bull market)

The catch is that you'd have 99.5% drawdown in 2008 (yikes) and you'd have been wiped out in 2000-2002.

Analysis: Lump Sum 100k into TQQQ - how many years until one million?

Compared to DCA, this one is more dependent on market trend. If you stomached the big bubble crash (like dot com), you might not achieve the target at all, and you even might still be at loss 25 years later, but if you happen to be in aggressive bull market period, then your chances of reaching a million earlier are significantly better than that with of DCA.

Average - 7-8 years.

Best - 2 years (2 years before dot com crash).

Worst - 29 years and counting (invested during the peak of dot com bubble).

Analysis: 1k $ monthly investment, how many years till one million with buy and hold?

Another interesting simulation I run on synthetic TQQQ data, going back to 1938.

If you were investing 1k monthly, on average you would need 11-12 years to reach one million by buying and holding TQQQ.

Best - 4 years (just before dot com bubble).

Worst - 18 years (just after dot com bubble).

In the future if we see it to come down to 6-7 years, I think that's when we will know we are nearing to the big crash

Here is a comprehensive visual Heatmap you will ever need when you have a question about long term tqqq

It shows, if you have invested 1000$, how much you'd have on each year (first column) after certain years of holding (first row)

Notice the lasting effect 1974, 2001, 2008 had

You would still be at loss in 2026 if you have invested 27 years ago

Update:

There were multiple remarks, addressing them here:

  1. Image is blurry - download high quality version here
  2. Color compare against qqq - Link to interactive version with qqq comparison

▲ 239 r/Dewalt

I've integrated Dewalt box with 4500lb winch and made an adapter for it to run on dewalt batteries.

In the back it has a hitch connector, so it acts as a truly portable winch which I csn take anywhere.

What do you think of it?
