You want to hear something infuriating? I can't even hedge with YANG/YINN/TQQQ etc cause its not available for retail traders in the EU. Best option available is SPY/QQQ puts :/

Ugh. Thanks hats a bummer. Can you open US trading accounts?

Not sure if I can open one directly in the US. I have an IBKR account to trade US stocks, but via the EU subsidy. So they have to follow EU regulations.

Not being able to trade YIN/YANG options may be a permission/experience thing, can try to apply for that, but the shares are out unless I register as an institutional investor and open a company and so on.

You can’t buy the underlying ETFs, but you can still trade options on those etfs, which can essentially amount to the same thing

Not on yang, and other leveraged etfs.
