MQQQ provides 2x leveraged exposure to the monthly performance of QQQ, an ETF composed of 100 NASADAQ-listed stocks. The strategy involves entering into one or more swap agreements intended to produce leveraged investment results relative to the returns of QQQ. Unlike traditional ETFs, MQQQ introduces added volatility due to its lack of diversification and use of leverage. Holdings are rebalanced at month-end to maintain the 200% exposure. However, if QQQs price drops by 35% or more within a month, the fund will rebalance early to protect against further losses, although this may prevent it from meeting its target return for that month.
To maximize results, the fund places its remaining cash in US government securities, money market funds, short-term bond ETFs, or high-quality corporate debt as collateral. Before May 16, 2025, the fund was named Tradr 2X Long Triple Q Monthly ETF.
Earnings, product cycles, macro prints — any time volatility itself is the trade, the MQQQ straddle is the cleanest expression of that view. Our scanner prices every MQQQ straddle against historical realized moves, flags expirations where the market is overpaying or underpaying for vol, and ranks setups by breakeven width and IV rank. Whether you're long a MQQQ straddle into a catalyst or short a MQQQ straddle to harvest decay, the options straddle setups that matter are all in one place.
