Other inverse and leveraged Nasdaq-100 ETFs can be found on here.

Both systems — (1) Long/Short & Long/Short/Cash Models, and (2) Aggressive & Moderate Models were running simultaneously in Year 2024. We decided to end the Aggressive and Moderate Models at the end of Year 2024, and continue with the Long/Short & Long/Short/Cash Models. Through extensive backtesting, the Long/Short & Long/Short/Cash Models are producing higher returns using the new and improved mechanical rules-based system.

Long/Short Model

The Long/Short model began on January 1, 2024.

Long/Short/Cash Model
