I am referring to timeandtiming.com

I tried the one month free trial since their web page promises terrific search options - and they would be great if they actually would be working as promised. Many of the spread searches I tried did not work and worse, they did not return my e-mail inquiries regarding this failure. Is...

hrokling, Sorry to hear that you have been ill, I wish you a quick, full recovery. Regarding heating oil I have a similar spread going: HO Mar08/Dec07. According to MRCI it was stopped out but I kept it (currently at a small loss) because it almost perfectly traces the 15 year seasonal chart...

Medowz, If you look a couple of posts back you will see that I confirmed to Joryan that it is possible to do intermarket spreads with Globex contracts by using the order window. You can also do it with the combo window by dragging the two contracts into the window.

FullyArticulate, I owe my involvement with commodity spreads to hrokling when I stumbled on this thread. His idea and experiment to simply follow a statistical seasonal pattern which worked in the past and more or less ignoring fundamentals appealed to me and I made it even easier on me by...

FullyArticulate, Thanks for the reply - lots of food for thought - and, as I was afraid, there is no easy answer. Out of curiosity, in your own spread trading are you using fundamental, technical or seasonal analysis? It is good seeing you visiting this thread again and I am sure everybody...

Joryan, I can't believe it but apparently, at least for certain globex futures, one can now enter intermarket spreads at IB via the order ticket. I just tried it for your Feb08 HE/LE spread and it worked - good job. I hope in time this will be possible for all markets. hrokling, Regarding...

Joryan, That is very interesting, I did not know that it would work with SMART. I am still not clear, did you leg in or use the combo? Did you type in SMART in the combo ticket the second time instead of GLOBEX? Was there any volume showing for Live Cattle? Was there a large bid/ask spread...

Medowz, I let hrokling answer that question but I am sure that he does everything electronically as do I and most everybody who uses IB, although, some trades can be sent to the floor with IB. hrokling, Wheat is indeed going crazy, my two spreads are now (3:15 am ET) up almost $4,500 in...

Medowz, A friendly reminder: All you have to do is go to the first page of this thread and read hrokling's first post and all will become clear

Thanks hrokling, I will have to spend some time to see what platforms Man has. Does anybody use similar platforms with other brokers?

Joryan, Which broker are you using, electronic or floor? While I took the last Lean Hogs spread - Feb08/Dec07 which shows already a nice profit and moves according to the seasonal chart (I leg into those a couple of minutes before the floor closing) - I stayed sofar away from Cattle, the...

Today I started an experiment. MRCI has 2 upcoming Kansas Wheat spreads: KW Dec07/ZS Nov07 and KW Dec07/ZC Dec07. Since Interactive Brokers does not have access to the Kansas City exchange I decided to substitute KW with ZW and legged into the 2 spreads just before 8:00 am. The reason, when I...

On 8/16 I posted my opinion about interest spreads and thought it was the best game in town at that time. It was based on the great seasonality patterns, the good correlation with the current contracts and most of all on the flattening of the 3 and 6 month libor yield curve which indicated...

FullyArticulate, I briefly glanced over some of your posts on other threads and saw that you are very knowledgeable and experienced in the field of interest spreads among other things. Not too long ago I posted my Eurodollar positions like Dec08/Dec07 or Sep08/Sep07 with the remark that...

hrokling, Congratulations to your results. I think you started with an equity capital of $20,000 but later increased it up to $50,000? But even with $50,000 that would represent a 40% ROI in 4 month or 120% annualized - wow - you are going to beat Warren Buffet by a wide margin if you can keep...

SupremeTrader, The chart you posted shows indeed nice trendlines to enter and reverse the ZNZ7/ZFZ7 spread. Can I ask you a couple of question: What indicator do you use to determine when to enter or reverse? Do the other interest spreads like NOB, Eurodollar Calendars or TED (does anybody...

Correction, the supposed entry date was 7/30

I am in the same spread, it was supposed to have been entered on 7/10 - luckily I did not take it then because it got stopped out on 8/10 at a loss of $1450, that's when I entered it at .788. According to the chart it has the potential to go to 1.3 but we have to be careful not to miss the exit...

SupremeTrader, Thanks for the clarification, we are all in a learning process. I got a PM inquiry regarding what I think about the Lean Hogs spread Dec07/Jun08 from the Encyclopedia. Since this is a general question I would prefer to have such questions posted on the thread. Since I did...
