    Direxion 3x Etfs To Start Trading As Early As Today

    Is there any difference between 100% 200% 300% ETFs in account with risk-based margin? As I understand it - the margin should be identical. I.e. I mean the margin will be the same, if I go long 200 SPY or 100 SSO. Except maybe short/bear variety of leveraged ETFs, since they limit risk. HLB

    Daytraders delight...Triple leverage ETFS

    There are also SSFs on leveraged ETFs: SSO is Ultra S&P500 ProShares (200% S&P500) SSO SSF listed on OneChicago is 1000 SSO (margin is 20%), so you get 10:1 leverage (but bid/ask is bad). If they will list SSF on triple leverage ETFs, it will be 15:1 leverage. HLB
