Martin: Without a doubt. I try not to have on more than one curve trade with the same bias, and I endeavor for a bit of diversity in the position mix. Today, it's Eurodollar Calendars and Crack Spreads.

Honestly, it is more profitable to trade them directionally. Less execution slippage, and bigger moves that tend to be sustained moves. Longer holding periods, and the exchange SPAN margin credits makes it cheap to capitalize and lever.

Spreads were a great mean reversion trade (convergence) from the late 90's until about 2006. It is a directional divergence trade in a big way now. I have a mechanical trading model for the entry points, and I provide it both in chart technical study format and the custom programmed scanner...

Whoa. I can't believe I took five full Eurodollar tics out of that thing in one hour. March 11-March 12.

I'm long Eurodollar curve in here.

The Yen definitely looks toppy, but the real driver is the US Dollar which looks like it has more downside. Because of the Dollar and the Fed's activity in the markets, IMO timing the Yen as a stand-alone entity would be problematic from a pure timing call perspective. It's just me, but...

Ask and ye shall receive. This is the stat arb currency weighted. Not even as much there as the one minute implies. Would take speed and low commissions to make it work. Very saturated to state the obvious.

ICE-Europe Gas-Oil Crack Spread, Exchange-Supported These are executed internally with the exchange order matching engine at the correct 4:3 ratio. So, a one-lot in the spread order book is in actuality a four lot in the Gas-Oil future.

Nikkei versus Topix, timeframe adjusted

Just my opinion - money management is not an edge, but position management has the possibility to be an edge. I am referring to money management as position sizing and risk capital allocation, and position management as profit targets and stop/loss targets. I might be different than some...

I'll have to give Ross his due, he knows how to find the remote IP hosting. That he is good at. Too bad he can't find a more productive way to harness that drive and creativity. Sadly, he spends all of his time being the unofficial ET spam cop. And he spends an inordinate amount of time...

Wow, great find. How bullish is that going to be for Gold? Pretty much an outright endorsement for the shiny metal.

Ross Canfield/TraderZones/JoePaterno/Joe4422: Maybe it's about time you manufactured some fresh handles to use with the remote IP hosting.

Redneck, I am just left behind in your massive wake and picking up the crumbs you leave behind. Please continue dropping the morsels for us mere mortals to grovel over.

I have made a very good living on a very consistent basis trading, but I don't have FU money at least under my definition. Even with blended capital gains tax treatment it is tough to build alot of capital over a short period of time. There are ET readers who never post on here but are in...

JoeP is also "TraderZones". He is also using the handle Joe4422. I've been getting private PMs about it and "Fireplace" spilled the beans on the Feedback forum 'garbage' thread. The same guy who was peddling a trading system for a quarter mill and without all of the "verification" he asks...
