Trade 09/01 I did exit my currencies trades in front of the long weekend. Out on CD-AD at 13.87 and at SF-JY - 4.49. I don't like to hold such news sensitive spreads over such a long weekend. Hyp. profit on CD-AD is $1,570 - commission of -$60 = $1,510 Hyp. profit on SF-JY is $1,838 - commission -$60 = $1,778. Hyp. account now at $52,981. I am still in KW-C and ED-ED. Happy trading Andy
Trade 09/09 I did enter LHV6 - LCV6 at -27 on 09/07. My idea was (or is) to scale into the trade at -27, -28 and -29. My stop will then be at -30. So far I got into the trade only with one lot. If the spread keeps on moving up I will try to add to my possition later. ............................. Because of the report on Tuesday (Crop Production & WASDE Report) I did reduce my possition (around break even, enough to cover my commission). I am just holding one contract at the moment. I am still in ED-ED but this one is moving very, very slow. Happy trading, Andy
Trade 09/12 I finally did get out of my ED-ED spread around break even. LC-LH is going fine till now. I have to wait till I see a good chance to add to my existing possition. Happy trading, Andy
Trade 09/15 I did exit KW-C with my last lot at 228 on 09/13. All in all a small loss of $180 incl. commission. I entered LHG7 - LHZ6 yesterday with a pretty good fill at 0.80 on the close only with 3 contracts. I will try to add on 3 more contracts later. Risk per contract is $400, basis seasonal. Happy tading, Andy PS I am planing to add one on my LH-LC trade on monday...I let you know.
09/20 I did get out of my LH-LC spread yesterday at -25.2. Hyp. profit $720 - commission = $690. Hyp. account now at $53,651. I will try to get into KWZ6 - KWN7 today around the close. Happy trading, Andy

09/26 I took first profits on my US-TY trade. I sold one lot at 4^8 for a profit of $470 - commission. I did move my stop higher for my LH-LH trade. I will probably get stopped out today. I got stopped out on KW-KW and will exit MOC today. I will keep you updated with the restults when the trades are over. Happy trading, Andy

10/03 I did cash in some money on my US-TY trade in front of the weekend at 4^12 (2 contracts) already on Friday 9/29. I have one contract left. Stop now at 4^08. Happy trading, Andy
Andy- Could you expand on the correlation of your treasury spread? What triggered this trade based on Correlation? Also, why did you execute this spread in a 1-1 ratio, rather than another ratio calculation? Thanks
