First Trading Day of My Project

Today is my first trading day for my SPXL portfolio project. At the very frist day, I will allocate about 70% of my asset into SPXL as I deem SP500 sitll bullish.

So I bought 150 shares of SPXL for 139.07. My target SP500 index is 5200.

My portfolio return the first day at closing is 0.3% with the SP500 index at 0.62% with a negative tracking error of 0.32% which is expected, because SP500 shot up right at the beginning of trading hours and I did not buy in SPXL right at the beginning of trading.

The mini-option of XSP, though a smaller contract size than SPX, still has this problem of one contract requires a lot of money for the underlying assets. XSP prices at 37...
