  2. Andy,

    Any idea how we can get real-time intraday quotes for KCBOT and MGE? Thanks!

  4. Looks like E-signal offers Level I for KCBOT and MGE, problem is, I am not too fond of E-signal...

    I say we lobby GTN, to start offering it too. :)

    Btw, in your own trading what's a rough percentage of spread trades that you do on KCBOT and MGE?

  5. I am doing KW or MW spreads only a few times of the year. I actually do not real time data but at least delayed data would be fine. At the moment you can not get data for MW before 10:40 am and theat's really strange.

  6. Trade 08/15

    Sorry Guys, the journal wasn't very active.

    I did enter 9 x MWU6 - MWZ6 at -8 on 08/15. My risk is $230 and the trading ides is based on the seasonal chart.

    Let's see what we get.

    Happy trading,
    Andy

  7. Trade 08/17 and 08/18

    I did enter 2 trades.

    5 x SMZ6 - CZ6 at $4,455 (this is an equity spread), risk $430, basis seasonal.

    I did enter MOC after the break out of the Ross Hook. But it doesn't look good and I will exit MOC today.

    10 x EDM7 - EDZ6 at 0.25, risk $230, basis seasonal. I will give this one more time to develop.

    I let you know how everything goes.

    Happy trading,
    Andy

  8. Trade 08/22

    I did exit my SM-C spread at $4,300.

    Hyp. loss is $775 - $150 commission = -$925.

    Hyp. account now at $51,094.

    Happy trading,

  9. Trade 08/22

    I did enter two currencies spreads.

    2 x CDU6 - ADU6 at 0.135 and
    2 x SFZ6 - JYZ6 at 0.052

    both with a risk of $1,000.

    CD-AD is moving up nicely since then but SF-JY is having problems.

    Let's see if I got more lucky with this one.

    Happy trading,
    Andy

    PS I would normally split my risk when trading 2 currencies spreads, but I did want to trade at least 2 lots on each.

  10. Trade 08/30

    I did take profits on CD-AD at 14,7 on 08/25 and profits on SF-JY today at -4,44.

    I have 1 contract left in both.

    Sorry, I gave the wrong values for the entries. My chart software shows the wrong values and needs multipliers.

    I did enter KWZ6 - CZ6 yesterday at 233, risk is $750, basis is seasonal.

    I am still in ED-ED.

    Regards,
    Andy
