    ER2 trading strategies

    I was wondering if any of you take into account what ES is doing to make your ER2 calls. I scalp ER2. I would be flying blind if I was not watching the spread between ER2 and ES. For example if you are looking to get long ER2 and it is the weaker index you probably are going to get stopped...

    Spread trading the correct mantra?

    My autospreader setup Working orders only in ER2 ES leg is set at -4. So when ER2 leg is hit a limit order is sent into ES -4 ticks from last. So if ES is 1304-1304.25 the limit order would be a buy order for 1303. Then I just cancel the order.

    Spread trading the correct mantra?

    I scalp ER2. I recently paid up for autospreader just so I could see the ER2-ES spread. It has made a tremendous difference in my trading. I also work my countertrend orders thru the autospreader. This has been very helpful because I do not get run over as often. What I do is work an...
