These funds are designed for short-term tactical use, not buy-and-hold. Review the fund's prospectus before holding more than a few days. ### How does AAOX's daily reset work?

Over time this path-dependence erodes returns in volatile markets and amplifies them in trending markets. ### How big is AAOX? Tradr 2X Long AAOI Daily ETF (AAOX) manages $176.5M in total assets.
