Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are ROM and XLKX levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on technology, ROM at +2 times and XLKX at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, ROM or XLKX?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window ROM\u2019s moved at 26% annualized and XLKX\u2019s at 26%, so ROM has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold ROM or XLKX for a year?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Both reset every day, so the multiple in the name applies to a single day and the daily results compound. Over a year the total is not the multiple times the year\u2019s move, and in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less. ETFIQ makes no recommendation either way."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which is cheaper, ROM or XLKX?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"ROM charges 0.93% a year and XLKX charges 0.45%, so XLKX is cheaper.
