alf44,
Notice TYP and FAS are 3x ETFs.
Notice you work a net (hedged) positioning strategy.
Wonder...
What if you hedge the 3x position with a 2x position (REW / TYP or UYG / FAS)?
Allows a bigger bet on the side you are playing.
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

four ... in theory ... it makes a ton of sense !!!
---
Very clever ... and worthy ... of consideration !!!
---
I will say this ... often ... "for me" it comes down to "price" !
In other words, DON'T OVERLOOK "PRICE LEVERAGE"' !!!
---
Being able to BUY more shares (given your account size) ...
and available capital ... often times is the deciding factor for me !!!
---
AGAIN ... as I said previously ... we are NOT necessarily trying to achieve perfection here !
"Delta Neutral" Is A Myth ... in the REAL WORLD !!!
---
But ...I'm NOT HATIN' your suggestion !!!
