lol - great timing!

I'll get back to you on your q's tomorrow, korn! Just a quick note to let you know that I have a seasonal trade coming up that I've decided to skip for liquidity reasons. Long Sep Rought Rice, Short Mar Rough Rice There's very little electronic volume, so I'm going to drop it. My entry...

The idea is to capture the larger trends in the spreads. I'm also focusing on the two near (quarterly) months vs the next few months out, with the thinking being that this is where you'll see the most movement. I am however wondering whether the other leg should be slightly further out - 3 to 6...

Added this morning: Bought 1 Mar 08 / Sep 08 spread @ -0.615 Bought 1 Mar 08 / Dec 08 spread @ -0.660 Current Position: H8 - M8 - U8 - Z8 - H9 4 __ 4 __ -2 _ -4 _ -2

Just a thought: Judging from the sentiment on ET during the weekend, there should be plenty of bulls buying Monday that are potential pukers on a new leg down. Not predicting anything of course, but it does seem like there's still plenty of hope. Proper bottoms are set when everything is...

Let's just be thankful it might take a few days for the boxes to adjust to less information :)

You don't use a futures prop-firm for leverage, it's either to profit-share with no money down or to gain access to superb technical infrastructure and rock-bottom commissions (or both, of course). If you can't find them, they're not for you.

I'm just looking for that spike, where there's complete capitulation before it all reverses. Like a -400 to -500 move in the DJIA. That doesn't mean we can't get an upwards move without it, but that wouldn't be a very healthy bottom imho and would just postpone the tankage until later.

Great tip - I will be sure to check it out!!

Thanks for that, glad you enjoy it. I'm planning to trade the remainding of my plan, which has entries until the beginning of April - and then I'll see them through until all positions are closed.

Yes, I have a profit target in my system (described back in around July, I believe). It is, however, a very optimistic profit target and as such I probably should have a second, lesser optimistic profit target - especially for when trading multiple contracts and being able to take some contracts...

I have had two more signals, so I've made the following trades: Bought 1 Jun 08 / Dec 08 spread @ -0.245 Bought 1 Jun 08 / Mar 09 spread @ -0.230 Current Position: H8 - M8 - U8 - Z8 - H9 2 __ 4 __ -1 _ -3 _ -2

Yesterday I had three more signals when the site was down, here are the transactions: Bought 1 Mar 08 / Dec 08 spread @ -0.775 Bought 1 Jun 08 / Dec 08 spread @ -0.315 Bought 1 Jun 08 / Mar 09 spread @ -0.310 Current Position: H8 - M8 - U8 - Z8 - H9 2 __ 2 __ -1 _ -2 _ -1

Just wanted to share that I've put on a seasonal trade in Eurodollars that's not part of my seasonal spread campaign as such - just sharing: Entered M8/U8 @ -0.250 If any of you want to hop in with me, I still doubt you're going to move the market much in my favour :)

Thanks! The signals are super-simple trend-following, and not based upon fundamental opinions/research. Also, not much money management here.

The theory would be to spread the risk somewhat, as multiple positions in multiple spreads would spread the risk somewhat - though of course the shape of the curve still is what's important.

Bought 1 Mar 08 / Sep 08 spread @ -0.700 New Position: H8 - M8 - U8 - Z8 - H9 1 0 1 0 0 Hmm... the formatting doesn't quite work, but I hope you get the idea :) - will try to make it work next time.

domestic, it's both DLP and OLED (google).
