Methodology: each issue's direction is a live signal — long/short opens or holds a position, neutral means flat, and every direction change opens, flips, or closes it. Returns are direction-aware (a short gains when the price falls) and compound across positions from first observation to the latest issue. "Price move" is the stock's own raw change, shown separately. Neither represents actual portfolio performance.
Brief History (23 issues)
Up 2.01% to 301.35 — UPRO's identical twin: a stone's throw from the 52-week high at 303.18, 99th percentile of range, RSI warm at 66.4. Thursday's candle already priced the benign CPI and PPI; momentum can carry further, but chasing a new-high sprint on 0.75 RVOL means carrying someone else's bags. Level to watch: the 20-day at 276.84. 3x compounding decay bites hardest in volatile tape — size small, ride only the trending leg.
This 3x S&P bull, twin to UPRO, rose 0.77% to 295.42, hugging its 52-week high of 300.96. RSI at 63.4 is firm, price holds well above the 20-day (275.48) and 50-day (271.85) SMAs, and the one-month gain of 6.87% shows a smooth trend. The post-CPI tailwind supports trend-following, though the round-number 300 level may act as resistance — and the usual leveraged-decay caveat applies, so keep holding periods short.
Down 1.02% with RSI at 62.1 — another 3x S&P long tracking UPRO almost identically. The choice between them turns on fees and liquidity rather than any difference in view.
Down 0.05% with RSI at 64.8, another 3x S&P long alongside UPRO. Overnight risk in leveraged products is materially amplified ahead of the CPI print.
Up 1.76% alongside UPRO with RSI at 64.9, just 1.5% below the $300.96 high — a 3x amplifier on the S&P's record close, strictly short-term.
Down 0.56% alongside UPRO with RSI at 62.6, just 1.9% below the $300.96 high. As a record run takes its first breather, a leverage amplifier cuts both ways — strictly short-term.
3x long the S&P 500 (like UPRO), down 0.6%, RSI 63.9. A steady trend near index highs; leverage for short-term following only, with strict stops.
Up 5.32% alongside UPRO with RSI at 65.2, just 0.8% off its high on 2.42x volume — a leverage amplifier in a record-setting tape, strictly short-term.
Up 4.28% alongside UPRO with RSI at 58.3 and 3.2% below its high — a leverage amplifier on the Iran de-escalation rally, strictly a short-term tool.
Up 0.71%, tracking the same index as UPRO at 3x. RSI 45.6, with the Fed decision landing inside a heavy earnings week — amplified volatility without a directional edge — sidelines
Down 3.7% — same as UPRO, cut leverage into event week
Same as UPRO: a +2.5% bounce still 6.2% off the high — event-dense weeks call for subtracting leverage
Down 3.1% to $265.73, structurally identical to UPRO — into event week, leveraged books get cut to minimum size
Down 1.6% to $274.24, same as UPRO — gear down before event night
Up 1.1% to $278.71, same as UPRO — a trend-day tailwind tool where sizing discipline comes first
Down 2.3% to $272.72, same story as UPRO — giving leverage the night off before an event is a virtue
Up 1.2% in step with UPRO, cruising at the 92nd percentile
Up 2.5% in step with UPRO, secure above the 20- and 50-day
Down 0.9% in step with UPRO; in a sideways tape, leveraged ETFs offer only decay, no reward
-1.3% 3x S&P mild pullback; decay stays low in this vol regime — quick in, quick out
+2.6% 3x S&P above the 20-day; decay is mildest in this low-vol regime
Structurally identical 3x S&P to UPRO — pick one, not both
Same construct as UPRO (3x S&P) — hold one, not both
