⚙️ Trading Strategy

Buy 5% dips, target 10% profit

Targets deeper dips (5%) than conventional strategies, waiting for true capitulation. Her 10% profit target is aggressive but accounts for the higher risk.

🎯 Best Suited For

Meme stocks, volatile crypto

"Fortune favors the bold. And I'm bold as fuck."

📜 Why This Strategy Works

In volatile markets, these swings happen regularly. The strategy works when she can stomach the drawdowns—and when she doesn't blow up first.

📖 Understanding Score & Momentum columns
📊 Score — Lifetime Quality Score
Measures how well this strategy+symbol combination has performed across the entire simulation history. Based on return, win rate, drawdown control, profit factor, and trade count. Higher is better.
75+ Elite   60+ Good   40+ Fair   <40 Weak
⚡ Mom — 30-Day Momentum Score
Measures performance over the last 30 days only. Same quality model but calibrated for short-term activity. Captures recent regime shifts that the lifetime score may miss.
75+ Hot   60+ Active   40+ Moderate   <40 Quiet
Spread Indicators — Comparing Mom vs Score reveals regime sensitivity:
🔥 Heating Up — Mom is 20+ points above Score. This symbol is performing significantly better recently than its lifetime average. Could indicate a favorable regime shift.
🧊 Cooling Off — Mom is 20+ points below Score. This symbol is underperforming recently despite a strong lifetime track record. Could indicate an unfavorable regime shift.
No icon = Steady — Scores within ±20 points. Consistent performance.

👤 Personality

Fearless bordering on reckless. Lives for the thrill. Screenshots her wins, deletes her losses. Genuinely believes she's lucky.
