Beating the Market With Meme Stocks: $GME Intraday EMA Cross
$GME still gets a lot of attention. For example r/GME sub-reddit community has 361k members with 5–10 daily posts and quite active participation. Moreover GameStop as a company does not shy away from heating up the retail interest and actively engages into market frenzy.

I always thought that in such environment I should be able to make money from rapid runs up and down. Below is a strategy which worked exceptionally well this year.

I would also like to share a disclaimer before the strategy details and results:
> The post is not a financial/investment advice and presented to the audience for educational purposes. Trading stocks is risky, trading meme stocks is crazy.

The Strategy
My whole idea was not to overcomplicate hence I went with just EMA cross. After playing with it a bi at the beginning of the year it appeared that 10min EMA 4×8 Cross worked the best. So I ended up with EMA 4×8 and a trailing stop loss.

Below are a couple of images for lazy readers presenting the strategy and the results for the period from Jan 1, 2022 till Aug 10, 2022.

Strategy of the Day: Opening Range Breakout
Decided to try a new topic: busting speculation about Technical Analysis.
Will be sharing trading strategies with results and analysis.
--------

The one for today: Opening Range Breakout

The Setup

Opening Range Breakout is rather simple
  • Enter on price crossing above opening high
  • Exit on high crossing below opening high (or 10% gain)
  • 1% TSL | Max Risk per day 2%
  • Just 1 trade per day
  • Trading $LABD / $LABU

The Results

50% gain YTD
Beats $LABD , $LABU and $SPY buy and hold

2021 and 2020 results are comparable.

The Thesis
Historically the high/low price aggregates around market open. The strategy just tries to capitalize on that distribution by acting consistently.

Simple EMA Cross Can be Profitable Too when Used Consistently, or the Story of 80% YTD Gain
There is a lot of speculation around TA and if it works or not. I wanted to share a simple trading strategy with YDT results. All it does: enters on EMA 13x50 Cross Up and exits on 13x50 Cross Down.

The Setup
$SPXS EMA Cross on 3min bars + 1.5% Trailing Stop Loss
$SPXS is '“Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bear 3X Shares ETF” (-3x of $SPY)

Strategy Setup ^

~160 trades this year; almost 80% gain YTD ^

This week trades: -2% today but no complaints overall ^

For the past 4.5 years $SPY gained the most on Mondays
Here is a quantitative study of holding $SPY for only one day. Entering on Monday morning 9:30am ET and closing the position on Tuesday 9:30am ET.
2020 was a huge outlier with 49% gain. What's interesting is that 2022 produced ~4% with such approach.

2018-2022 vs. $SPY buy&hold ^
