Are you kidding me? HELLO?! The most civilized country in the world? What a joke! That's probably why you're still battling with centuries-old racism (we're already in 2003), high crime rates, and not to mention respect for life and normal decency have gone out the door. Your culture has...

What are your settings for Stochastics and Bollinger Bands? What is your setup in Stochastics that signals you to take the spread trade --- do you use Stochastic crossovers, overbought/oversold, etc? (I normally don't use Stochastics as they can stay in overbought/oversold zones for a lengthy...

I'm starting this thread with my initial question and an answer I got from a private post. We'd like to open the discussion to other traders as this may benefit a lot of us, and we can learn a lot from each other on the benefits of spread trading. So, to start it off:

Can anybody recommend a broker that allows you to do spreads, specifically the spreads on interest rate futures. Can you also rate them if you have more than one broker that you use for spreads. Thanks.

Thanks. I appreciate your replies. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insight. Some times I think I know it already in my head, but it helps to hear it from somebody else. It cystallizes it. Good trading to you guys.

Does anybody use Market Profile for technical analysis? I'd like to hear how you've used them to make your trading decisions. I hea that it really gives you a very clear picture of the market as it is changing. Some have even said it's better than traditional indicators, which are mostly...
