In effect, if your broker requires a 30% maintenance requirement currently on a double leveraged ETF, it will now be 60%. Likewise, a triple leveraged ETF will be changed to a 90% maintenance requirement.<br /><br />In addition, these increased maintenance requirements also apply to uncovered options on leveraged ETFs and your day trading buying power with respect to leveraged ETFs. So, for example, if you day trade a double leveraged ETF, you will no longer have four times your account balance, you will only have two times for day trading purposes.<br /><br />For your reading pleasure, here’s the link to the actual FINRA Regulatory Notice 09-53<br /><br /><a href="http://www.finra.org/web/groups/industry/@ip/@reg/@notice/documents/notices/p119906.pdf">http://www.finra.org/web/groups/industry/@ip/@reg/@notice/documents/notices/p119906.pdf</a><br /><br />If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to email me and I'll respond promptly.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Jim T.<br /><a href="http://etftimer.collective2.com/">http://etftimer.collective2.com</a><br /><a href="mailto:etftimer@yahoo.com">etftimer@yahoo.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4938688019002846781-754828041285792634?l=etfmarkettimer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10154804746760216653noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938688019002846781.post-10254710864016150062009-11-01T15:15:00.001-08:002009-11-01T15:15:47.281-08:00Just a test blog as of 6:15PM on 11/1/09<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4938688019002846781-1025471086401615006?l=etfmarkettimer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10154804746760216653noreply@blogger.com0
