Andy's Day and Position Trading Journal

Hi Neo,

"How did you become acquainted with spread trading? I'd like to become more familiar with this style and was wondering how you developed your strategy and the learning curve you experienced. Thanks for sharing your thoughs and trades."

I was very lucky because I have spend a lot of time with Joe Ross and he told me about spreads.

I know, there is not so much about spreads. Just send me an email with your email address and I will send you some PDF's about the basics and some info.

Happy trading,

Andy

Sorry if i'm coming in late on this topic. Where are you trading from in the Carribbean? Are your ping times (lag time) fast?

 

Dominican Republic...excelent connections!

 

Did you say you didn't prefer daytrading the ym or did I misunderstand? I appreciate your journal...I like the Joe Ross stuff so far...I haven't really scratched the surface of the freebie info but, so far, it is quite interesting..... Best Wishes Porgie
