Buy & Hold · Most passive

Set it once.
Then simply hold.

Buy once — at market or with a limit — or set a recurring schedule to dollar-cost-average in. Add an optional disaster stop and let it ride. No harvesting, no rebuys — nothing to manage day to day.

How it works

Three decisions, then you're done

Buy & Hold strips trading back to the essentials — enter, protect, hold.

01 — ENTER

Enter your way

Fund by dollar amount or exact share count. Buy at market, set a limit with a price cap (good-for-day or until filled), or schedule recurring buys to dollar-cost-average in. Go now, on a future date, or pick from upcoming IPOs.

02 — PROTECT
🛡️

Optional disaster stop

Cap the downside with a fixed stop locked at entry, or a trailing stop that ratchets up with new highs and never moves down.

03 — HOLD
🪂

Then walk away

The position simply rides. Fuselit only acts if your disaster stop is hit — otherwise it holds, indefinitely.

Disaster stop

Fixed or trailing — your call

Both cap your downside. The difference is whether the floor follows the price up.

FIXED
📌

Locked at entry

The stop sits at entry price × (1 − your %) and never moves. Simple, predictable downside protection that ignores swings.

TRAILING

Ratchets up with gains

As the price makes new highs, the stop rises to lock in profit — and never falls back. It protects gains while letting winners run.

Buy & Hold FAQ

Common questions

Only if you set a disaster stop and the price hits it. Otherwise the position is never sold — it simply holds until you close it yourself.
A fixed stop is locked at entry price × (1 − your %) and never moves. A trailing stop starts there but ratchets up as the price makes new highs, locking in gains — and never moves back down.
Yes. Choose the next market open or any future business day, and Fuselit places the order automatically when the market opens that day.
Either works — enter a dollar amount and Fuselit sizes the share count, or specify an exact number of shares directly.
Yes. You can add, adjust, or remove the disaster stop and switch between fixed and trailing at any time from the dashboard.
Yes. Choose weekly, biweekly, or monthly and an amount per buy; Fuselit places a market buy on schedule, funded from your existing Alpaca cash. If the cash isn't there, that buy is skipped and you're notified. Recurring buys and a disaster stop can't both be active at once.
A market order by dollar amount or shares (fractional supported), or a limit order with a price cap that stays good for the day or until filled (whole shares only). Recurring buys always go in at market.
