VUG Morning Riser - mod
A bot that buys growth stocks at the start of each week when conditions look good, then exits whenever things weaken.
Investment thesis
How it works
Enters only on Mondays if price is above its 100-day average
Exits any day if price drops below average or volatility spikes
Stays in cash when market conditions don't look right
Designed for patient investors who like weekly rhythm
Works best when
- When stock prices are climbing steadily week after week
- When market swings are calm and predictable
- When growth stocks stay above their long-term trend line
- When you can wait days or weeks between trades
Watch out for
- When prices suddenly crash or gap down overnight
- When the market whips up and down unpredictably
- When growth stocks enter a prolonged downtrend
- When you need quick profits — this bot is patient, not fast
