Hi Andy, I just read your spread journal and am very impressed with your results. Just wondering where you are getting your spread ideas. I looked at Moore Research, but your spreads doesn't look like they come from their research. I am new to spreads so any pointer on selecting spreads would be appreciated.
Hi Swingtrader, I get all my ideas from Moores. Under "special spread charts" you can receive a lot of PDF's about all markets. I go thru all the PDF's once a week to find some interesting trades. Happy trading, Andy
Trades I did exit my metals spread 3 x 50*SIK5 - 100*GCJ5 today (03/10) at -6,705. hyp. loss is -$360 - commission $150 = -$510. hyp. account is now at $36,171
Trades I did exit my ED spread yesterday: 9 x GEM5 - GEM7 (GE is the elec. market of Eurodollars) at 1.17. Hyp. profit is $2,700 - $450 commission = +$2,250. Hyp. account is now at $38,421. I am not going to trade next week because I will be on Honeymoon (I am getting married tomorrow 03/19). Happy trading, Andy
Great thread, Andy. And congratulations on finding your other half!! I think I could learn alot about spread trading from here given the time. LOL. Best wishes, Student
Congratulations Andy! For your future together I wish you all the happiness on earth!. Take Care, Italo.
Hi andy - hope the honeymoon was 1st class (i guess you'll read this on your return) what was the reason for exiting the eurodollar spread? Had you hit a target (are these calculated based on margin as jr teaches?) or didnt you like the correction? cheers fred
Hi Fred, thank you very much. The honey moon was very nice! I just got out on the ED spread because I did not want to trade on my honey moon Regards, Andy
