Hedging Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Hedging Risk. The Fund’s strategy is designed to enter into short positions that offset market movements in the value of the Index. The success of this strategy will be subject to the Adviser’s ability to correctly assess the degree of correlation between the short positions. Since the characteristics of securities change as markets change or time passes, the success of the Fund’s hedging strategy will also be subject to the Adviser’s ability to continually recalculate, readjust, and execute its positions in an efficient and timely manner. There may be periods during which the Fund has gross exposure to one of the Leveraged N100 ETFs if the Adviser is unsuccessful in maintaining a neutral portfolio, which would expose the Fund to the movements of the Index. In addition, it is not possible to hedge fully or perfectly against any risk, and hedging entails its own costs (such as trading commissions and fees). It is possible that movements in the value of the Index, either up or down, will negatively impact the performance of the Fund. This risk is magnified due to the Fund’s exposure to leveraged ETFs, which can be volatile investments with the potential to expose their shareholders to significant losses.

Derivatives Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect daily correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than directly investing in securities. When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the underlying reference asset and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of those amounts initially invested. |

Swap Agreements [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] |
The swap agreements in which the Fund invests are generally traded in the over-the-counter market, which generally has less transparency than exchange-traded derivatives instruments. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference assets or underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a basket of securities.
If the underlying reference asset has a dramatic move that causes a material decline in the Fund’s net assets, the terms of a swap agreement between the Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out the swap transaction with the Fund. In that event, the Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve exposure consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. This may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective, even if the underlying reference asset later reverses all or a portion of its movement. |

Counterparty Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] |
Counterparties may seek to hedge their exposure to individual clients (such as the Fund) by establishing offsetting exposures with other clients, however, there is no guarantee that counterparties will do so under all circumstances. Should a counterparty (e.g., a swap counterparty) terminate its relationship with the Fund, the Fund will seek to utilize other counterparties to seek to maintain its exposures. In addition, the Fund may use options contracts to seek to generate the leverage necessary to implement its strategy. The use of options contracts introduces distinct risks, including heightened volatility, particularly intraday. While options may provide an ancillary benefit of mitigating some losses under specific scenarios, such as severe market downturns, their inherent leverage and rapid price fluctuations can amplify the Fund’s performance volatility and lead to greater risks of substantial losses. Refer to “Derivatives Risk – Options Contracts” for additional information on the risks of investing in options.
In addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective.

Short Sales Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Short Sales Risk. In connection with a short sale of a security, such as a Leveraged N100 ETF, the Fund is subject to the risk that instead of declining, the price of the security sold short will rise. If the price of the security sold short increases, the Fund will experience a loss, which is theoretically unlimited since there is a theoretically unlimited potential for the market price of a security sold short to increase.
|
|||
Leverage Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Leverage Risk. The Fund utilizes leverage in its investment program. The use of leverage allows the Fund to make additional investments, thereby increasing its exposure to assets, such that its total assets may be greater than its capital. However, leverage also magnifies the volatility of changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio. The effect of the use of leverage by the Fund in a market that moves adversely to its investments could result in substantial losses to the Fund, which would be greater than if the Fund were not leveraged.

Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem Shares directly from the Fund (known as Authorized Participants or APs). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services; or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. | |||
Cash Redemption Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. For example, the Fund may not be able to redeem in-kind certain securities held by the Fund (e.g., derivative instruments). In such a case, the Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used. By paying out higher annual capital gain distributions, investors may be subjected to increased capital gains taxes. The costs associated with cash redemptions may include brokerage costs that the Fund may not have incurred if it had made the redemptions in-kind. These costs could be imposed on the Fund, decreasing its NAV, to the extent these costs are not offset by a transaction fee payable by an authorized participant. | |||
Costs of Buying or Selling Shares [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Investors buying or selling Shares in the secondary market will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers, as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Shares. In addition, secondary market investors will also incur the cost of the bid-ask spread. The bid-ask spread varies over time for Shares based on trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower if Shares have more trading volume and market liquidity and higher if Shares have little trading volume and market liquidity. Further, a relatively small investor base in the Fund, asset swings in the Fund and/or increased market volatility may cause increased bid-ask spreads. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. | |||
Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. | |||
Trading [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, such as The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (the Exchange), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares and the liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio holdings may deteriorate. | |||
Economic and Market Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Economic and Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in the general financial markets, a particular financial market, or other asset classes, due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics. The imposition by the U.S. of tariffs on goods imported from foreign countries and reciprocal tariffs levied on U.S. goods by those countries also may lead to volatility and instability in domestic and foreign markets. |
|||
High Portfolio Turnover Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund’s holdings. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund’s expenses. Frequent trading may also cause adverse tax consequences for investors in the Fund due to an increase in short-term capital gains.
|
|||
Money Market Instrument Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Money Market Instrument Risk. The Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management purposes, including money market funds and depositary accounts. The Fund will incur expenses when investment in money market instruments, which will reduce performance. Money market instruments may lose money.
|
|||
New Fund Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.
|
|||
Operational Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Operational Risk. The Fund is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund’s service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fund relies on third-parties for a range of services, including custody. Any delay or failure relating to engaging or maintaining such service providers may affect the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective. Although the Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures, there is no way to completely protect against such risks.
|
|||
U.S. Government Obligations Risk [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | U.S. Government Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government. U.S. Government obligations include securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, such as the U.S. Treasury. Payment of principal and interest on U.S. Government obligations may be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Although U.S. Treasuries are backed by the U.S. government, those government policies may change both in terms of the payment of interest and in the payment of principal. Furthermore, while holding a Treasury until maturity can guarantee principal, selling a treasury prior to maturity or buying a treasury subsequent to issue date may put principal at risk.

Risk Lose Money [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. | |||
Risk Nondiversified Status [Member] | ||||
Prospectus [Line Items] | ||||
Risk [Text Block] | Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers could cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio.
