In terms of absolute % return, selling the leveraged ETF that is against the market trend nets you a higher amount than buying the opposite because in addition to the market moves, you also benefit from the nav decay. But the problem is that you cannot (at least I have not found a way to) compound the returns. The compounding happens automatically when you buy the one that is with the trend. Going against the trend requires you manually increase the position at the end of each day. This becomes very dangerous when the market makes big moves against you.
