    Yeah re SRTY, it throws me off reverse splits eg SQQQ and so many others recently. I'm trading TWM now for small caps, though TZA is favorite. So much upside in inverses esp. 3x

    I nailed inverses today, held overnight sold premkt gaps up, didn't overtrade midday And traded 2k shares SPXU VIXY during eod 3-4pm run. Green day.

    Tomorrow Powell the 2pm volatility will be good trading

    SCO 9.78. The Grinch said 33 by Monday. May be the worst call on this site in a year.

    Maybe so but this was never about whether you could day trade. My take on this thread was never wrong. In fact, if you had narrowed your scope to just SQQQ and TZA and stuck to the plan you'd have made decent money ( although I'd have covered that at some point this week when SPX went to 3300 or under myself ). Based on my experience and research, I knew all along the SCO and KOLD portions would likely fail. Not a guaranteed fail, just likely.

    Now I'm not sure these leveraged etfs are the best vehicles to do this either beyond no more then a 2-3 day hold if that. To truly make serious money you are better off swing trading a small collection of stocks, picking the worst ones for short tries and best ones for long tries. Mid caps may be the best choices for such tries. That however does require some research.

    The Grinch got throttled pretty bad today hopefully you can learn something from the experience. SPY had serious looking support all week you could see some huge buying in quality names. That's not what happens in market crashes; earnings growth and the economy are just too good to be talking about such events this year.
