Trending intraday futures spread?

[bone]

I am personally unaware of any futures spreads that “revert back to a mean” day after day, week after week, etc. We should all be so lucky.

There are no spreads that just statically sit there allowing you to buy bids and sell offers all day every day. That’s just a fantasy that you keep repeating and I’m not sure where you get that impression.

I get that for retail swing trading spreads is better but how exactly is "Short term trading in mean reverting spreads is not good or not possible " for retail traders? that is the part that is not clear
