    Trading the S&P/DJIA spread

    Trading the S&P/DJIA spread

    Looking to SELL again at 30-32. Surprisingly good movement in the spread during this holiday period. I will continue to post here for the time being, while I find a messaging service that allows me to message to all members of a group at a time (any ideas?). Best wishes to everyone for a...
