CLDS (-2X Cloud) is good for shorting the cloud stocks. Pretty illiquid but I use it. Returns seem similar to SARK.

Holding 23k worth of inverses into weekend

Hey Ken did you ever consider just using the MNQ future? At IB you can get about 13X leverage currently (29K notional value with $2200 upfront margin). 2-3 Contracts of MNQ = 23K -3X ETFs, roughly. In this current downdraft the focal point are the top NASDAQ stocks so it makes sense.

There never was a real FAANG future. If it existed it would be the best. You can use FNGD but the FANG+ index has a lot of non-FAANG stocks in it so it doesn't really follow FAANG correctly.

I really wish the SPDR Sectors were available as futures. That would be pretty good as well.

Anyone else trading inverses? I overtraded them last year but finally it looks like selling pressure is here.

The neat thing is they're bouncing off all-time lows, check 1- and 2-year charts.

I like trading 3x high volume ones for both day and swing trades.

Made profits today mostly in the post fed SPXU. also traded SDOW SPXS VIXY. went mostly cash all accounts here, as you saw eod drop making me leery of overnight holds.

But if dow futs -200 or more red later tonight I'll rebuy inverses aftermarket.

Nice day... nailed it

I focus on a small number of ETFs to trade and trade leveraged pairs (UVXY/SVXY, DRIP/GUSH, LABU, LABD, etc.). I use several chart indicators, including Stochastic/RSI to time my moves in and out of the trades. So far, I've stayed above my money management goal of 65% win/35% BE/Loss trades and I use Stop/Loss to limit the loss. It's working well in this market because of the volatility.
