I’m convinced that the best strategy for most people is simply buying consistently and holding for years. No timing buys, no trading, no leverage, no waiting for a crash that may or may not ever come
The less complicated the better.

Three names. Zero dark pool sells. $3.18B. No opposition.
$MSFT: +$1.48B dark pool. Zero sells. $5.65B lit with $25.3M sells. Both tapes agree buy at maximum conviction. The MSFT oscillation finally resolved. Not alternating today. Just buying.
$AAPL: +$1.02B dark pool. Zero sells. $12.08B lit with $2.2M sells. The July play at its highest cross-venue conviction. Both tapes. Zero opposition on both.
$GOOGL: +$685M dark pool. Zero sells. We alerted the $187M buy at 2:08 PM. "Someone just took a fresh position in Alphabet." The EOD confirms: +$685M. More than triple the alert. Zero dark pool sells. The fresh position we documented is larger than the alert showed.
$META: +$883M. $14.9M sells. Near zero. After the profit-taking cycle ($577 to $660, sold Monday), $META is being accumulated again. The reset is over.
$MU: -$570M dark pool. -$15.70B lit. Both tapes agree sell. The consistent buyer for two weeks. The $200M pre-market alert. Today: both tapes agree sell. The data documented the accumulation over two weeks. The data documents the unwind in one session. Both sides on the record.
$QQQ: -$1.02B. $SPY: -$683M. The dark pool continues selling indexes and buying individual names. Same pattern as yesterday. The institutions are selling the basket and buying the stocks. Concentrating. Not de-risking.
Watching the tape.
