  2. Wishfull thinking :)

    I am NOT in the MW spread I have posted yesterday. All the other spreads are fine, only ignor 14 MNW5 - MWU5 at a spread value of -5. Risk is $200, target +10.

    I did want to enter but missed the entry!

  3. Trades

    Yes, I know I forgott to post my trades:

    I did get out of my LH spread at break even on 06/20.

    Hyp. Loss = $0 - $400 commission = -$400

    Hyp. account is now at $35,210

    I did enter

    9 x EDU6 - EDU5 spread on 06/21 at -0.31 at the elec. market. Risk is $300 and basis is a 1-2-3 low.

    I did take some profit and sold 2 at -0.23 yesterday.

    Hyp. profit is $400 - commission $20 (elec. marktes) = $360

    Hyp. account is now at $35,590.

  4. Trades 06/29

    I got out of my ED spread today because I have to go on a trip tomorrow (additionaly I am fighting with a flew, that's not really good for the trading).

    I sold 7 x EDU6 - EDU5 at the close at -0,21 on globex.

    Hyp. profit on the trade is $2,150 - commission elec. markets $90 = $2,060.

    Hyp. account is now at $37,270.

    Back on 07/10.

    Happy trading,

    Andy

  6. Back since last Sunday. Unfortunately I could not find the right trade yet.

    I was watching LCZ5 - LCG6 as a correlation spread but did not get my break out entry signal. The spread is going the wrong way.

    I am sure I will find something over the weekend.

    Happy trading,

  7. Trade

    I got into a Currencies spread a few days ago.

    3 x ADU5 - JYU5 at -$37,232 on 07/18, risk is $1,000 and the trading idea is seasonal and a Ross Hook. Because both sides of the spread have a different unit value you have to look at

    1000*ADU5 - 1250*JYU5

    This is called a equity spread. If you need info just send me an email with your email address.

    I did take the currencies spread in the electronic market.

    I also did enter a Meats spread

    3 x PBQ5 - LHQ5 at a spread value of -0.90, risk is $1,000 and the idea is seasonal and a 1-2-3 low.

    I got out with one lot on the meat spread and will also exit with one lot at the currencies spread.

    I let you know the numbers later.

    Happy trading,

    Andy

  8. Trade

    I got out yesterday (07/20) with one lot on my currencies spread at -36,140.

    Hyp. profit is $1,092 - $10 commission = $1,082.

    I got also out yesterday with one lot of my meats spread at 1.4.

    Hyp. profit is $920 - $50 commission = $870.

    Hyp. account is now at $39,222.

    The meats spread is moving up like a rocket... I just let it run.
