This question for those who got this file from me.
Was that a book or some free material from Joe Ross' web site? I am not sure and would like to know.
This is what was brought to my attention:
"Do note that the file was not "Trading Spreads and Seasonals." It was the free trading manual Ross sent out in one-chapter increments and now makes available on his Web site, plus some separate material on spreads and seasonals book."
Having read the book, I believe most people will not be able to make spread trading work for them, even if their life depended on it. They (myself included) simply don't possess the trading personality to hold slowly developing positions in pit-traded futures and commodities, typically for many weeks at a time.
Andy's Spread Trading Journal right here on ET is a good read if you are thinking of doing that. Andy is both a student and an associate of Joe Ross.
The book is no longer being offered for free I believe. Originally it was just a copy of his book of the same title for stock trading. I read on his site that he intends to publish it as a hard copy book only and sell it for $150
