Looking for traders of ProFunds double inverse ETFs

    I value these funds because they provide greater margin when you want to short the indexes ETF.

    For example, takes less capital to buy DXD than to short DIA. Ultimately, it's more efficient to short the YM e-mini but as I'm not quite prepared for futures yet I started doing some research on these double inverse ETFs.

    I have played with QID on ocassions and understand well but....

    A few things come to mind:

    - AMEX/Spread/Fills
    - Low Volume/Liquidity

    Are these any good for day trading or strictly swinging or investing ?

    Would love to hear your opinion.

    Thank you

  2. I use to trade the rydex leveraged funds and then you could buy and sell them the same day. So I guess you could call that a day trade.
