You missed this question Mr. Patak. IMO that first question is a very important one, and depending on how you answer it will say alot about your organization and the type of people you are looking to bring aboard.

Yes I am. Sector ETF pairs to be specific. I follow all of the major sectors in the US market.

Sorry tried to embed but didnt go through.

The Trend is your friend:

I'm a equity spread trader, trading cross pairs seems to have many similarities to what i do :). Maybe some day in the future i might migrate over if i become too large for my current market. Still in my early early 20's so lots of time to go!

Here's a cross pair that trended smoothly to the downside, expecting to see something similar to the upside as the both the euro and the aussie have technically broken previous trends. EUR/AUD

I personally look for pullbacks in a spread that has been trending. For instance...uso/spy, qqq/spy, xhb/spy. All of these have been money on pullbacks. But entry can be tricky at times imo. Hey simple breakouts seem to work pretty well. Maybe im complicating it by entering off one of the...

In my experience regime changes don't tend to just come on abruptly. In a low vol trending environment, correlations tend to continue to unwind and divergence rules. Only when you get a rise in correlations and vol do you get a good fading type environment. Everything looks fine for now as I...

I trade sector Etfs and tend to spread a sector versus an index. Like XLE against SPY. If I wanted to be short the spread I would be looking for a short entry in XLE and put on the spread as a result of the signal in the underlying (xle). You tend to get in a little late this way but the move is...

Ok cool I can elaborate. XLK is a tech sector etf...the plot represents the spread between the XLK and the SPY. I am expecting XLK to continue to outperform SPY. I do trades like this all the time...in different environments the spreads between sectors and the broader market tend to behave...

Question to bone or the other spreaders in here. Do you find it more effective to time entries exits based off of the underlying instruments or the spread itself? I do most of my trading based off the driver of my pairs and it works but I'm always looking for other perspectives

I use prophet charts on Thinkorswim. You can sign up and get a paper account for free!

Looking at this XLK-SPY spread to continue higher, I am long after today. In this type of environment divergence trading sectors can be a very good strategy.

145 handle in ZB!

Nice, and to add that quarterly A is the target! Failed Aup to Adown...they won't go there in a straight line. The price action and ACD Signals are suggesting we test that 145 quarter A down. I think its sooner rather than later, I've been watching these bonds very closely like everyone else and...

I talked about the numberline divergence over 3 weeks ago in the bond market. Same situation occurred with X at the quarter Adown. The numberlines don't lie people. Very important to watch for divergence between price and the number lines at key levels. Bonds have come off hard since we tested...

Just trade the momentum. Very hard to buck momentum in a grinding tape like this one. The time to fade extremes is in a sideways or volatile tape. In a low vol grind up...tops aren't put in days. It usually takes weeks if not months to put in tops in a uptrending market.

Haven't you guys learned yet? This market is stubbornly going higher...the more of these threads that show up, the more confidence I have that this market will continue higher. Sure we are due for 2-3 day pullback...then you will have threads of people saying, "I told you the market is going...

feels like alot of people fighting this tape eh?

Man that quarter adown test had the biggest 30 day numberline divergence ive ever seen. Check out the August 20's and 22's. Went from .2 to 3 bucks in the 20's after that inside action on the 26th
