Hi Andy, How are things going? I enjoyed the insightful phone conversation on yesterday. Did you receive my e-mail regarding Genesis FT? Do you have any updates on your journal? Thanks, Walt

Actually, when I started the thread, what I had in mind was calendar spreads on futures. I would be open to SSF and equities as well. Walt

Don, Do you have extensive experience with intra-market calander spreads on futures. The range oscillator seems most predictable with this type of spread. I don't know of a safer way to trade pairs/spreads. Do you? Many may argue that there's not enough money with this tatic; howevever, I...

Don, Is there any way I can place $20k - $25k with you and take an online training coarse from you that covers the techniques/strategies, policies & procedures and the software system that remote traders use? I would love to begin trading with you if only I can bypass the need to the 3 day...

Does Bright allow for pairs/trading of futures over extended periods (i.e. having a position open for 4 - 6 weeks)? Also, I wish Bright would allow for remote training. Is this feasible? I'm interested in Bright as well; however, it's not a viable option for me to attend the 3 day or 2 week...

I believe pairs trading can be very profitable. I've been testing crude oil futures - calander spread. Today was able to book over $4k in profits trading only two contracts, CLJ8 & CLN8. I'm probably too cautious to trade stock pairs; however, I believe that futures spread/pairs trading can...

Thanks a bunch guys... will do...

I've been reading upon Joe Ross' material on spread trading. However, it comes across as one big infomercial to me. He highlights the astronomical ROIs, while stating that the risk is minimal. I've had some success with spread trading the crude oil. I chose CL because of the backwardation...

To coin Nassim Taleb's mantra... it's all about dynamic hedging. In order for this to work it cannot be a "set & forget" strategy. The key is to sell the put option when it loses 50% - 75% of it's value. By selling and redeeming part of the cost of buying the put, it then neutralizes the...

Exactly, as a long & synthetic short they'll offset each other. The key is to earn daily swap interest on the long. Walt

I'm not sure if this technique is better suited in the forex forum or the options forum. Nonetheless, here it is... putting on a long options collar with the gbpjpy or any currency pair that pays a substantial swap interest. You won't make any money if the market goes up (due to shorting the...

Hi Andy, I've become very intrigued with spread trading. How much has your ROI per year been seen you've started this journal? thanks, Walt

Is this thru Saxo? And is it with spot forex, european style options?

JW, Kudos to you for putting forth a dynamic thread on an option technique that's being used real time and sparking creative discussions on how to modify or revamp the given technique. Perhaps you can consider the following tactics, especially for f/t earning power: (1) Sell OTM strangle...

Virtually all the good prop firms allow you to trade from home. Remote trading is the next big wave with Prop firms. Personnally, I don't feel comfortable beginning that route without the necessary training. That's one of the reasons why I'm very attracted to Bright Trading. The only...

Businessman, That's an encouraging story. Did you start full-time with a Prop firm? I'm considering joining a prop firm, but there is none that I am comfortable with where I live, which is Atlanta. I talked with Opus, but a firm like Don Bright's is more to my liking. Walt

Have you used any of the software from pair trading or neoticker? I'm a bit familiar with the pair trading site, as it's promoted by Bright Trading. However, their product seems soo expensive. Whereas the software from www.pairstrade.com is only $49.95, while pairs trading software ranges...

Does anyone have a recommendation on a fast and reliable software application for pairs trading. I'd like to have the flexibility of historical convergence/divergence information that's also downloadable. It would be great if it allows the incorporation of other TA indicators to help forecast...

I think it's an bug in the Strategy Scan software application in Optionsxpress. I contacted the Live Help for assistance. At first they could not believe that their application was giving such info. However, after I e-mailed them a copy of the screen shot, then they mention that they will...

Amazing Results!!!! Based upon a test I just conducted thru Optionsxpress, using a call ratio spread with $50k for a March expiration (Apple) will yield a maximum profit of $1.2 million, while having a worst case loss of $0. Test it for yourself... I'm sorry that not many folks are...
