correlation vs Seasonal Hi Rudi, first of all I really hope it will work out for you with your spread trading! I am personally using a very simple filtering for my trades. I look thru the seasonal and correlation charts and whenever I find something interesting I put it into my chart...

Update Both spreads did move up nicely yesterday 01/18. I am watching a few other spreads for an entry...I let you know. Happy trading Andy Jordan

Happy 2006 to all of you! This year I am going to trade a hypothetical margin account of $50k. The risk will be a max of 5% of the margin account. I will post the numbers for the entries/exits as I get them on my real trades. Sometimes I will use an average if I get different fills for the...

Hi, I am using RefcoExpress because I am mainly trading open outcry markets (spreads). I am not a big day trader and for the spread trading the time factor is not such a big deal. My backup...yes, my telephone to the broker! :-) Internet is really up to date here in the Dom Rep and...

Hi Fred, first target was the same as my risk. Regards Andy

Hi Fredd, I am looking for any kind of trades not only for the RH and 1-2-3 at the moment. Especially in the ES you find other ways to trade. It's trading mostly sideways and the trends (if there is a trend one day) last only for a short time. Happy trading Andy

Hi Version, you are right of course...typo Short at 1264.25; stop at 1268.25 :-) Andy

Summary 2005 You might think "this guy is really fast in taking his christmas vacation" but the reason to come up with the 2005 summary is, that I am going to fly to Germany in the week of the 13th. I did try to find anything to enter this week but it didn't work out. Now it's getting to...

Trade 12/01 I tried it again today. Short ES at 1265.25, stop at 1268.25. I got out around the close at break even. http://share.esignal.com/groupcontents.jsp?folder=&picture=snapshot-12.png&groupid=707 Andy

You won't belive it...yes, some day trading. Because I am leaving for the US on Friday, I did some day trading today and yesterday. Markets are moving up and down especially the ES. I am not going for any Ross Hooks or 1-2-3's at the moment, I am looking for reversal trades. Have a look at...

Hi Guys, I am feeling kind of tired these days. Maybe I am already in a Christmas mood :-) I also have to travel next week and I will visit my parents over Christmas in Germany (will go there from mid December till beginning of January). I am not sure if I will enter any new position...

You are absolutely right. We are getting close to Christmas. I will have a break from the trading of at least 4 weeks. Andy

Trade Finaly I got out of my LHG6 - LHZ5 trade on my time stop on Friday 11/04 at 4.0. Hyp. profit on this trade is $720 - commission of -$200 = $520. Hyp. account is at $41,832.

agtrader777, I do not have any preferences about it. I like them all. The only difference is, I normally give the inter-market spreads less time because they are usually more volatile then intra-market spreads. Andy

Trade Got out and took the loss on my BO spread: out on 9 x BOZ5 - BON6 yesterday 10/20 at -0,70. Hyp. loss on this one is -$1,026 - commission of $450 = -$1,476 I took profit on my LH spread out on 3 LHG6 - LHZ5 yesterday 10/20 at 3.0. I still got one lot left. Hyp. profit on...

hi sakimonohito, sorry to answer so late: the "normal" way on futures is to multiply each side of the spread with its US$ value/unit move. normally you trade a ratio of 1:1. this way you get an equity chart and each move of one tick = 1 US$. I have never traded the spreads on forex...

I am still with my LH and BO spreads. Unfortunately BO is going nowhere and LH did stop to move up. My plan is to give it till end of the week. Andy
