What are your favorite low risk strategies to use?

Low risk? I would say keeping my eyes open when throwing the dart at the stocks page.

I was being facetious, sorry. What you suggest was what William O'Neil promoted and is more difficult to succeed at than it might seem to a neophyte.

It's a simple system, not necessarily an easy one.
The trick is to stay out of your own way.

Ideally to carry through a period, e.g. in between quarters, with a high sharpe ratio. Tempted to sell and/or cover everything I'm in now and just sit for the rest of the quarter. Come forth with your ideas, elite traders.

You can trade Weekly timeframes, say pullbacks to obvious levels on Weekly charts, and then use Daily charts for entry timing.

That way you get low risk entries with very tight stops, and the R/R is usually very high, plus you don’t have to baby sit trades.

Buying intra day breakouts and putting in a stop.

Good Morning longandshort,

My favorite low risk strategy is to simply buy the SP500 index twice a month.

If you can't beat them, might as well join them.

I'm a trader rather than an investor, but if I'm going to be holding longer than a day, I never short the US indices.

And always be careful not to drop your dart when you're only wearing sandals.....

Buy stocks that are going up.
Sell them when they stop going up.
Don't hold losers in your portfolio.

You just gave away my day trading secret source.

Although I have a few favorite setups, my low risk trades has a lot more to with the risk/trade mgmt than the entry signals.

It took me years to realize that there are no secrets.
