It's probably not for the faint of heart, but I think there is size putting this spread on in here and money to be made on it longer term.

Whats your thought on this as a spread trade?

Hi all, I am looking for resources that anyone may use for tracking account performance over time. This could be anything from software that inputs all your trades, either automated or manually as it may not sync up with my platform, or excel spreadsheets that track various performance...

If you're timing is good, maybe you'll be able to see some waves lapping the beach later.

Why even post the link if you have to be registered to read it?

These have gotten alot more liquid over the last couple years but will still give you some nasty stop outs overnight if someone decides to sell a 10 lot at the market.

Does anyone know if OEC has inter commodity autospreading capabilities yet? Corn/beans, KW/ZW, etc? If not, what platforms aside from TT do? Thanks

I think it's a valid question, even for a real player, but probably a terrible place to seek guidance. How does OP not have peers or know of anyone trading equal size in stocks? Unless he's being honest, really trading hundred lots but trading a trust acct to which he recently gained access...

We use span margining, as do most US brokers I believe. So do they use 3x the futures margin regardless of it's distance to the market?

Does anyone know if the Austinp on ET the same as the AustinP writer from coiled markets?
