Leveraged ETF investing has been a great tool to enhance my trading experience over the past couple of months. It allows to double or triple gains in a volatile market, but it can also boost your losses. Many brokers have reacted to elevated risk exposure and are now imposing new margin requirements on leveraged ETF trades. Basically, you can just use them with your cash, but no longer on a margin. It's a pitty as these new restrictions will rather create more damage than good as hobby traders will need to go back to Forex or futures trading to be able to use reasonable leverage in the near future.
