A little while ago I closed the two ZB Dec7/ZF Dec7 spreads I entered on 8/12 at a total profit of $1,720. This is the spread SupremeTrader thought should be entered the opposite way. Even though the spread has been going nicely in my direction I decided to exit it because I think the 30 year...

That's right, just go to their free website and click under 2006 Trade Results and take a look at the 1990 - 2006 equity curve for the Monthly Report. There were also other years with little or no profit. That's why it is important to be properly capitalized, another option is to skip the...

hrokling, If you subscribe to Joe Ross's free weekly newsletter you will find that he suggested for today's trade the same as MRCI: Buy Kansas City Wheat Dec 07, Sell Soybeans Nov 07. If MCRI suggests Kansas Wheat do you substitute it with CBOT Wheat? The two seem to move pretty much...

Sold 6 GE Z7/U7 which I bought on 8/7 at .215 at a total profit of $4,389 and substitutes it with 12 GE Z8/Z7 at an average spread of .110 which I think has better long term potential. I am really sticking my head out here but I think interest spreads right now are the best play in town...

Remember, I said I wanted to add to the CAD U7/AUD U7 on a pull back, well I waited too long and when I saw during the night session an unrealized profit of $4,120 I took it - the highest profit during the last 15 years on this spread has been $1,590! Medowz, I try to monitor a recommended...

SupremeTrader, As I said before, any pointers or constructive criticism is always welcome but please keep in mind what this thread is all about. Hrokling started this as an experiment to see how he would do by following for one year the trade ideas he learned from MCRI's Encyclopedia published...

hrokling, I once mentioned previously that the way MRCI suggests the interest spreads is not based on a rational quantitative basis,however, they work and that is what counts. I also took the ZNZ7/ZFZ7 spread because it was profitable 12 times out of the last 15 years. In addition, Time &...

Medowz, I have been with some services of MRCI for several month and find it very helpful. I tried McGovern for one month and had a bad experience, maybe it was just an unlucky month - did anybody use it over a longer time period? Somebody kindly told me about T&T and I am testing it now...

hrokling, Good to see that you are back, I was afraid you had left for good after all those irrelevant exchanges on this thread. I loaded up in the meantime on interest spreads, like GE Sep 08/Sep 07, GE Dec 07/Sep 07, ZN Dec 07/ZF Dec 07 and ZB Dec 07/ZF Dec 07. They not only show good...

SupremeTrader, Which broker would you suggest?

hrokling, Are you still in the HO Dec 07/May08? What is your mental stop?

Dear miniFORTUNE, It is not you who has to thank anybody. It is clear that anybody who followed your thread and your tireless responses to all the questions surely owes you a lot of gratitude and appreciation. All I did was to share a website I stumbled across. You shared your knowledge...

2006, I have the same spread and I will give it one more week before I call it quits. I entered it in May based on an subscription service which I do no longer use.

Hi SupremeTrader, I am glad you take such an active interest in this thread, I have much to learn and hrokling is far ahead of me, and from what I have seen on other threads he is apparently a very successful stock trader. BTW, I was talking with hrokling about the HOZ7-HOK8 spread which...

hrokling, The posts between you and SupremeTrader provide an excellent education - thanks to both of you. I had forgotten about scarrtrading.com but is it reliable? For example, the 15 year seasonal HO spread under discussion is very different from the MCRI chart, in fact it is way below the...

SupremeTrader, it is great to get post here from seasoned traders and I am curious how hrokling will respond. To you participate in other discussion boards either at Elite or elsewhere so we can read your posts? Thanks

hrokling, for what its worth, in the meantime I found an updated 15 year seasonal chart for your first RB spread which would indicate a peak of about .0350 in the first week of August, which would indicate a gain from your entry of $2,436 per contract. I also found a chart for the HO spread...

Long 2 Nov 07, Short 2 Feb 08 RB Gasoline @ -0.0230 Long 2 Oct 07, Short 2 Feb 08 RB Gasoline @ 0.0040 Long 2 Dec 07, Short 2 May 08 HO Heating Oil @ 0.0960 hrokling, On those spreads what is your profit target and how long to you intend to hold them? What do you figure is now your new...

hrokling, On the RB Oct 07/Feb 08 did you not mean -0.0040 rather than +0.0040?

mF, Thanks for all the details. For the moment I will just stay with your regular posting since I have too many other things going, like getting a better understanding how commodities spread trading based on seasonality works. However, if you do the daily position adjustments I would be...
