3 x LCJ5 - LCQ5, basis is seasonal, entry at 7.42 on 01/07, risk $400 I did get out of my LC spread above at 7.52 Profit 120 - commission 150 = -30 Hyp. Account at $19,596 (because I want to use the close for my entries/exits I adjusted the loss of the HU-HO spread to $323).

Yes Version, that's right...only scalping at the moment.

"I know you can work with EOD data if you're trading spreads. What I don't understand is how you can work with eSignal. My guess is that you need continuous futures data for your spreads. Since esignal doesn't have other continuous data than just linked contracts, I don't see how you can work...

4 x WN5 - WH5, risk $250, basis is seasonal, entry at 14 1/4 on 01/05. Will exit if the spread doesn't start to move up till Friday. It's moving very slowly but the right way. Let's see if we get some move the next days! 3 x LCJ5 - LCQ5, basis is seasonal, entry at 7.42 on 01/07, risk...

"andy - are your entry set ups still the same as before?" Yes, Fred...the same. Just changed the time frame and the risk/target for scalping. Happy trading, Andy

Hi H2O, sorry I did not want to ignore your question: "Andy, what kind of data do you use ? (And from who ?) I assume you use continuous data for your spreads, what kind ? (backadjusted, ratioadjusted, perpetual)" I use esignal at the moment. Real time for the CME and CBOT. These are...

I will start this year with only scalping the markets. It's actually the typical "Joe Ross" method: I will trade the Euro FX and the indices on 3 minutes. Risk/Target are 6 ticks. Stop to b/e after 5 ticks. I will exit not later then 3 bars after my entry (time stop). I will go for only...

"The WH5-WK5 spread is wider than the one you chose. Any reason you chose that spread in particular." The WN5 - WH5 spread shows more potential. This is quiet normal with intramarket spreads. Spreads with more time between the two contracts show normaly more potential. This is only true if...

1 x HUK5 - HOK5 (this means long 1 HUK5, short 1 HOK5), Risk $1260/spread, basis is seasonal and a RH, entry at 10.7 on 01/05, exit at 10.2 on 01/12. Spread did not move into my direction and also the volume was really bad. Loss of $210 + $50 = $260 Hyp. Account at $19,740 4 x WN5 -...

Still on vacation :-) Andy

Dear Traders, because of different activities (writing a newsletter, chat,...) I am not able to post my spreads trades immediately after my entries/exits. I will always have a few days delay. The journal should give you only an idea about how to trade spreads. If you find it interesting and...

I am looking for some trades already but haven't entered any spread yet. I am sure I will get something the next days. I will keep you updated! Andy

I will start day trading around the 15th of January!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New 2005! All the best to you and your families! Have a great vacation! Good Bless Andy

Hi! I do not like to trade in the week of the roll over. It always takes a few days until the market gets back to normal. In the past it has been better to take a few days off. Andy

Because vacations are getting closer (12/15 - 1/15) and we are rolling into the next month on the indices and the currencies I will not do any more day trades this year. Maybe we can use the time till 12/15 for some discussion. Just let me know if you have any questions. Happy trading, Andy
