ETF's I'll Be Using in the Velocity Loop Trading System Yesterday I bought $1 worth of all the ETF's I will be putting into the Velocity Trading Loop over the next few months. Depending on market conditions and/or others I may find, I could change some of these. As of right now this is what I plan to use, and I'm showing them here so that you can do you research on these if you find them valuable. Also, I will likely be using different methods that I have mentioned like, leaving some of the profits earned in each ETF in order to earn Long Term Growth and small amounts of dividends. Since I've mentioned dividend earnings, understand that this method allows for over 95% of your cash to be invested at all times (except for the initial investment process) allowing for dividends to be collected throughout this process. Below will be the current Robinhood charts for the past year of growth of these ETF's. You can look them up on your Robinhood app and see what their l...

This will be the first post, or the beginning of my trading journey. If you're new here please check out this post  first so that you can understand what I'm doing. Though it is possible that I could change without warning, I'll do my best not to.  First things first, I do have a little cash in my account. My current buying power or cash is $313.95. I have four of the ETF's that I'll be using in this Velocity trading loop already with a little cash invested. I'll be selling them tomorrow morning if they are still in profit, otherwise I'll wait until they are in profit. So my cash holdings are $313.95, and my total holdings in ETF's are $63.78. We're just going to call $379.73 my starting point. Keep in mind that I have Ethereum and a few options contracts in my robinhood account at this time. I will be holding on to them for now. Anytime I add cash to this account from outside sources or from other trades I may make outside of this system, I will me...

Velocity Trading According to Google, Velocity Trading is defined as "Measuring the speed and direction of a price trend, analyzing how quickly an assets price changes over time, and using this to identify momentum, with high velocity indicating rapid , significant price moves." This is not exactly what I'll be doing, but it is kinda close.  Tap here to explore Robinhood The amount of technical analysis I've done on the the ETF's I'll be using is the amount they have moved up in the past years, whether they are still moving up, and that's about it. I'm simply trying to take some of the difficulty out of trading. There is so much "stuff" online about how to trade, that most people who would actually do well at it end up getting discouraged and quit.  I don't believe it has to be that way. I'm going to show you what I do, and maybe this will be beneficial to someone who is discouraged and wanting to quit. I call it Velocity trading, and...

The "Velocity of One": Turning Volatility into a Self-Scaling Profit Machine ​In the world of investing, we are usually taught two extremes: "Buy and Hold" for decades, or "Day Trade" with high stress. But there is a versatile middle path—a mechanical system that focuses on Capital Velocity . ​Whether you are starting with a small "seed" account or aggressively funding a large portfolio, this strategy turns the market’s daily noise into a structured harvesting engine. ​ The Mechanics: Harvesting the "Froth" ​This system treats your portfolio like a farm rather than a lottery ticket. Instead of waiting years for one "big win," you break your capital into standardized Tax Lots (e.g., $50, $100, or $500 units). ​Every day at 2:30 PM, you perform a simple "Vibe Check": ​ Is the Daily Candle Green? We only sell into strength. ​ Is any specific lot up by at least 2% (or your set dollar target)? If a lot is in th...

The Hidden Power of Tax Lots on Robinhood (And How to Use Them to Grow Your Portfolio Smarter) Learn what tax lots are on Robinhood, how to buy, view, and sell them, and how to use fractional shares to maximize profits and minimize taxes. Introduction Most investors using Robinhood think they’re just buying and selling stocks. But behind the scenes, something much more powerful is happening. Every time you invest—even $5—you’re creating a tax lot. And if you understand how to use them correctly, tax lots can quietly become one of the most effective tools for growing your portfolio while managing taxes. This is one of those “simple but not obvious” concepts that separates average investors from disciplined ones. What Is a Tax Lot? (Simple Explanation) A tax lot is a record of a single investment purchase. Each time you buy a stock, you create a new lot with: A purchase date A purchase price A specific number of shares (including fractional shares) Example: If you invest $50 into the sam...
