    A LOT more than that;
    if its in SPY or SPXL sometimes , UPRO.......[500 + per each ETF......]
    EVEN though :caution::caution:an investors could figure out ways to hold more than that I would go the other way\less

    Is a holding of 100 positions the best way to run your strategy?

    Is your strategy the best strategy you could run?
