Cost of holding

Simulate any window

Over the last year, a hold of 2x Gold short did this against 2× the stock, on average and in the worst tenth of start dates.

Decay is a cost of choppy markets: it disappears in a steady trend and bites when prices swing past the rebalance band. Backtest with a modelled keeper, fees per D8, funding 0; not the live token.

Replay any hold

Pick a start date and a length; the simulator replays Gold's daily history under this keeper and fees, then rolls the same hold across every start date so the range of outcomes is visible.

Since launch

Launches at 1.00 USDC per token. The token price is now 0.9993 USDC. There are no reverse splits: the price drifts away from 1.00 in both directions over time. Why leveraged tokens decay
