>>Is there any value slippage by holding TBT for too long?<<

There is value slippage by holding anything U.S. dollar denominated, for not so long.

There is slippage with TBT regardless of currency issue....

Edit: This ETF seeks a return of -200% of the return of an index (target) for a single day. Due to the compounding of daily returns, ProShares' returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the target return for the same period. Investors should monitor their ProShares holdings consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily. For more on correlation, leverage and other risks, please read the prospectus.

Index returns are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent actual ProShares Fund performance. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results. For standardized returns and performance data of the fund current to the most recent month end, see Performance. See the prospectus for more information.

Yes, without a doubt, some slippage. Another strategy would be to short TLT (if you can) or short calls on it.

Or you could double up on a position in TBF (an inverse 20+ year, but not double inverse). Compare a chart of tyx, tbt, and tbf and you'll see the difference.
