Thumbs up
bgold started this thread FC, Great idea to take delivery. How about a big T2W BBQ. For now I have a little problem!!! I AM SHORT and will have to deliver all those greasy bellies!

BBB, do agree on spreading. How about Hogs vs Bellies. Hogs will be seasonally strong vs Bellies by end of April. See chart

Check out www.MRCI.com for more ideas!

PS. Stop lowered to 108.1

Could be good. I'm just starting to get into spreading futures. I've got some experience with options, but that was many years ago.....

I've ordered the Courtney Smith book to gem up on them.

Bgold.
I may have twigged ! Can you spread trade the likes of corn versus wheat or oil versus lumber ( long one but short the other) ?

bgold started this thread BBB, I have also recently started. Currently reading Courtney Cox and several others. Like Joe Ross, trading spreads and seasonals. Let's post a few ideas for broader review on T2W. i will after easter

Neil, you can spread anything, but note exchanges have recoginised spreads which demand lower and very low margin (fe calendar spreads). Widely played are spreads like C/W. Fe A seasonal trade is buy CZ4/sell KWZ4 in May-June.

Fc, it ain't no wild boar!!

Neil - yes you can. Thats the point of spreads - to take advantage of seasonality of products. Time of the year for meats and grains. Yield curves for Bonds such as the TUT (Ten year Under Two year notes) to profit from the yield curve, TED - Tbonds vs Euro Dollars. etc.

There isn't much written about spreads though. It's all need-to-know or we kill ya you filthy c*ck-a-roach stuff (sorry, I watched Scarface again last night)

bgold started this thread BBB, I still have to study them in more detail and will tell you in couple of weeks. On first glance I like the methodical approach of Ross, showing how to enter and exit spread trades.
happy Easter!
