    Hello, for the long term trades I post here, I had a poor start to the year followed by a good crisis period. I guess I had some better energy trades than ag. My daily scalping/Short Term trading has been going really well since march as well( as it should be with the volatility ).

  6. What spreads are u scalping? Energy or yield? Or ag spreads? Don’t know much about scalping ag spreads... would be good to know if there are any good ones like with energy u could do crack spreads or if u want slower then you could intramarket spreads or if good commissions and an autospreader, then u could do flys/doubleflies

    It depends but for scalping, you need some important daily ranges to negate the fees impact. Crack spreads are a good example of a spread you can scalp. For ags, it is better to stick to outrights as the daily range of spreads is too small.

    I use the COT to gauge the potential of a reversal when specs have record positions( and may have to cover if the market goes the other way ). That's all. For most positions, I don't even watch it.
