NASDAQ Short ETF Calculator
Estimate SQQQ, QID, and PSQ returns from a NASDAQ-100 or QQQ move, then compare the latest actual daily returns.
NASDAQ short ETF choices
The main NASDAQ short ETF choices are PSQ for 1x inverse QQQ exposure, QID for 2x inverse exposure, and SQQQ for 3x short NASDAQ-100 exposure. These ETFs reset daily and are built for short-term bearish NASDAQ trades.
When to Use This Calculator
Use this when you want to compare the three common NASDAQ-100 inverse ETF choices from the same QQQ move: PSQ for 1x inverse exposure, QID for 2x, and SQQQ for 3x. The estimate is most useful for a one-day scenario because these funds reset daily.
Before You Trade a NASDAQ Short ETF
Match the leverage to the holding period. PSQ is the least amplified, QID doubles the daily inverse move, and SQQQ is the most aggressive. For multi-day trades, compare the simple estimate with actual ETF performance and read the issuer's daily objective and risk disclosures.
