Financial spreads

Quote from maninjapan:

Martinghoul, you mean to say, that there is some seasonal trends in December between the products? Or trading just goes to crap in Dec, cause everyone's finishiing up for the year?

More of the latter, especially this year...
 
end of year. everyone goes on vacation (me included). people can get lazy about tax issues holding over the new year. lock in profits and stop trading. list goes on and on....
 
all makes sense. If you guys dont mind Ive got a couple of questions.
Is it possible to be successful trading these instruments spreads using an automated spreader follow a mean reversion strategy, or do you really need to get in and work each of the legs?

What would you consider the most important aspect for a trader to master to be successful in trading financials?

Thanks guys

its possible to do a lot of things in the markets. just depends on your timeframe and how much pain you can take.

i really believe you should be able to trade every product but some will come easier to you then others.

knowledge of how the underlying is trading/moves is always key. and also just time looking at/studying/trying things in the market. remember too, you can read about learning how to swim for a very long time, but you need to get into the water and splash around a bit...
 
Try zf vs zn, or zn vs zb. Zf vs zb is too much curve for a beginner (or pro, imho)

U could always flY the zn with the 5 and 30 too.

I do recommend using an autospreader as well. Cqg and tt have one.
