I don't know. I traded with the 3x from time to time on a weekly basis. I had to be very careful. But I never actually did a backtest to see how it would have behaved with a savings plan... Maybe I'll do one sometime 😀

@Hotte1909 Hi Patrick, thanks for your feedback. I have now set up a savings plan. Can keep you posted on how it goes 😀
••
@Max095 yes, I'm also doing a little baking test at the moment. Maybe I'll get it finished then I'll let you know

•@Hotte1909 With pleasure 😉

@Max095 so I ran through a few scenarios. The fact is that you need balls of steel, and pretty much all the scenarios I simulated were 40-70% in the red. My risk management would probably have been effective by then. But now the good news is that even if you start at the ATH, you will get a positive return after a year at the latest. I have not simulated individual purchases at the ATH. But I wouldn't have expected this result myself. Now we come back to the but 😉 Unfortunately, growth is always finite. At some point it can't go any higher. Of course, inflation also drives up market apilization. If we leave that out of the equation, we can still achieve growth (automation saves labor, etc.), but somewhere/sometime the point will probably be reached where nothing more can be done. Or we simply can't imagine it that way. Who knows what new industries will be added in the future... If you had told Generall Motors in 1950 that there would be companies worth trillions. They would have chased you away.

@Max095 Mind you, this only refers to this ETF since its launch. If things go the way they did between 00-10, you will certainly need longer to become positive. But you still have how many 35 years until "retirement"?
••
@Hotte1909 Wow! Thank you so much for your detailed summary and for making the effort! 😊 Exactly, over 30 years until retirement. Then I could add it as a small "yield driver" alongside my $FGEQ.

@Hotte1909 You can't lose the stake completely by adjusting the lever every day, can you?
••
@Marre2410 You mean like a knock-out certificate?
••
@Max095 The only thing I don't understand is the composition. Is it index-based or is the composition here just wrong?
••
@Hotte1909 yes right so you practically lose everything
