What I am trying to understand, Bone, is why there are many people replicating spreads with autospreaders when you can simply post a size on a native calendar spread and wait to be filled with no legging risk? Perhaps you can enlighten me...:) My theory is that autospreaders are useless in...

When you use the term "calendar spreads", are you referring to a simple pair with two legs - same product / different month ? YES Are you lumping butterflies and condors into your assumption about trending ? I BELIEVE THEY ARE MORE MEAN REVERTING THAN CALENDARS Is there a particular reason (...

Indeed. It's great to have generous friends like that. Switzerland is really beautiful when it comes to the landscape and the scenery. Coming to Gstaad you will have a good view of the typical swiss mountain ski resort : The swiss chalet are the nicest, cross the border to French Savoie and they...

Will you come here for hiking or something? Have you ever been in Gstaad in June? I was about to type "I can come pick you up"...LOL

I am not sure but perhaps I can rent a vespa. I had a vespa from age 14 to 18 in France. Public transportation is actually quite good in Swiss, but I live in a really small village so I have one train per hour to go to the city. It sucks...

With great pleasure Baron. I live in the Lausanne area. There are a lot of beautiful places around to visit( Neuchâtel lake, Joux Lake, Gstaad, Zermatt a bit further ) and Lausanne has actually an active night life for a small city( 300000 ). I will find a train to come and meet...Same if you...

F*****. I will have my DL suspended for 3 months for speeding and it happens just after I have settled in a little village in a new country ( Switzerland ) and I need my car badly...:mad::( The funny part is that I am actually a slow driver most of the time. But there was road work during...

I would say an average of a few hours, depending on the liquidity of the quoting leg. I guess your horizon is more like 2 weeks if you follow spread trends. I agree some are really clear and tradable , but I don't think MOST calendar spreads have a trendy property.

I find it odd we have a slowly descending curve in 2016( usual ) and then we have september much higher...AFAIK coffee is more like slowly ascending and then flat or slightly descending, but never ascending- descending- and reascending...(Sorry I don't know the lingo)

Have you seen coffee curve shape around Jul - Sep 16 ? It's weird... Is there a change in the contract? It is not stuck quotes.

Hello, When people are talking about reversion to mean, I generally imagine some kind of channels around a moving average/mean where you buy on lower channel and sell short on upper one. But do people actually exit on the mean? I generally have better results when I let the price go from...

Seriously they will wait until 2016 to create their stupid stamp tax. And they waste their time discussing this for hours at each meeting...What the world would know is how much of our money they have already spent on this idea...

Many great tunes lately guys. It's worth being on ET just for this thread.
