Strategy Guide
THE MAXX METHOD: Buy dividend-paying tickers 3-5 days before estimated ex-date.
Other capture traders pile in, driving the price up. Sell the day before ex-date, capturing the
momentum run-up (often 3-5x the dividend amount) while avoiding the ex-date price drop.
MOMENTUM X: The multiplier showing how many times the average pre-ex-date price
appreciation exceeds the actual dividend. A Momentum X of 3.0 means the run-up is ~3x the dividend.
WIN RATE: Percentage of historical ex-dates where the 5-day pre-ex-date return was positive.
Higher win rates mean more consistent momentum patterns.
SIGNAL: Best opportunities are tickers with Momentum X > 2.0 and Win Rate > 60%.
Look for the next upcoming ex-date in the calendar and enter 5 days before.
DISCLAIMER: Pre-ex-date momentum is NOT guaranteed. Historical patterns may not repeat.
Ex-dates detected via overnight gap-down heuristic — actual ex-dates may differ. Dividend amounts
are estimates from gap-down magnitudes. Past performance does not predict future results.
Strategy inspired by Maxx's real-world observation of 3-5x dividend captures. Not financial advice.
