Thanks Bone. I think the above statement is easy to say but very difficult to resolve the issue regarding how to do proper hedging for fuel, as whether it is technically feasible to find a viable solution, I just wonder. Intriguing indeed...

This Quick Trade system is now becoming a part of the overall Equity Hedging strategy. The Equity Hedging main system alone (before adding the Quick Trade sub-system) due to its hedging objective/functionality is never expected to make any profits. Adding/integrating the Quick Trade...

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3444575#post3444575 From now on this Equity Hedging system will include a Qucik Trade sub-system in order to improve its overall performance. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=79684&highlight=*correlat*
