Also quick comment about margins i don't think AMP margins calendar spreads right so I don't think I are getting SPAN margin on exchange supported calendar spfeads . Regarding software cqg Q Trader is a good compromise in trading calendars if you are not autospreading

Just curious about 2nd market to watch... i traded gold back in the day.. swing traded.. but never really daytraded... searched and searched for prop firms trading gold.. and couldnt find anything. i know they usually like thicker markets for scalping.. some trade CL.. I used to like CL but...

so these are modeling the curve to say.. this calendar is undervalued or overvalued compared to others - so go long/short or is the modeling incorporating technical analysis or both I can message you as well

Mav.. do u trade calendars as mean reversion? or just flys? with retail commissions.. fly mean reversion trades are not very practical

anyone trading CL calendars or flys? this seems to be an old thread

how many hear trade Cl calendars and flys? on retail commissions?

Good luck Mav.. i have a scenario short vol in Euro and short SPY we shall see.. ha ha

Im already short a straddle.. vol is already very high.. but given enough time.. into June.. there is another event on May 7th. so might add depending on vol between this weekend and then

Will do.. thanks.. so 2 part question a) for day trading.. do u use the front month calendar spreads? (i know spreads are good for swing trading and if u see some threads here and on FIO.. im trying.. though slowly trying to learn) b) If you are swing trading the spreads.. do u use any...

Can i ask if you are trading ACD.. what is the opening range you use for NG? I do 9 am to 9:20 am.. seems ok.. but was just more trial and error.. any recommendations? Just sharing some charts

Hi Mav.. ive been following it almost every day. Been trading it.. but lately noticed there are some set patterns.. a) Initial move: Around 8:20 am or so, Secondary move.. and then a third move around 1:30 b) Certain patterns like if secondary move is all the way up.. then around 1:30 usually...

hi any active NG traders here? wanna share?

Most daytraders come to the conclusion that simple is better (maybe after a few years). They stick to patterns, levels or vol profile type analysis and volume and some indicator(s) for confirmation. Whatever be the journey, from what i see here, there is a strategy of analysis and execution...

Spent about 20 hours.. looking at a different forum (wink/wink) and collecting info on crude spreads.. head still swimming . .probably will just focus on Crude calendar/butterflys... if i can get to a stage of the mechanics for comparison to see anomalies and marry them with some fundamental...

ok got it.. so to summarize: is this all correct? a) If i am looking at energy (CL, NG) and Agri Flys.. then synthetic flys is the way to go even though exchange flys may exist due to lack of volume (combo of 2 calendar spreads where there is plenty of volume) - thanks for the CQG suggestion ...

Now for the Crude flys.. i see more than 1 (only a few with volume) Now to chart some : Here is the one with CLE6 (which i am assuming is a 6 month fly) Just sharing as homework.. please bear with me as i understand it all (ha ha at least what i am looking at)

Wanted some interpretation on this.. i did find an exchange traded fly for Nat Gas.. but only 1 (i guess have to ask CQG what happened to the rest... unless for all the remaining it has to be synthetic. (will post crude flys next) Here it is for Nat Gas.. im seeing only 1 .. not sure what that...
