What to Model
- Reference asset direction and daily path.
- Single-day loss size that would challenge the plan.
- How several alternating gains and losses could affect compounded results.
- Trading cost, spread, and taxable-account considerations.
What a Careful Reader Writes Down
Before acting, the reader should write down the intended holding period, maximum acceptable loss, reason for using leverage instead of the reference asset, and the official source material reviewed.
