J J-Law Oct 30, 2002 #41 If you follow the other spread trades I posted, you'll see, that they make money, too. Let me know, if I shall post more spread trades. Sure. That would be great. My problem is keeping track of all them. J-Law

J J-Law Nov 2, 2002 #42 Trading spreads, I have a win-loss ration of appr. 70%, therefore I feel confident enough to risk 5% - 8% of my account on each spread trade. [u/] Markus, Have you ever figured out what that breaks down in a ratio of winning size to losing size trades. Meaning what are your winners compared with your losers, 2 to 1, 3 to 1 etc??? The reason I ask is that I am trying to establish the mathematical "edge" or positive expectancy of the method. Sounds all technical, but it's really not. J-Law

More... OK Gann, what are you talking about here? Are you saying that you are trading spreads on a weekly basis? I mean Hay that would be nice. Just look at them once a week. What do you mean less slippage? None of this makes any sense.
