Hi Friends,

Do you all think we can trade seasonal spread trading blindly by just looking MRCI with 100 % win of 15 years??

If you are going to try it for a couple 'seasons' - I don't think so!!!
If you are going to commit to doing it for 15 ++ years - I have absolutely no doubt! I don't think - I know!

Narrow it down to plus/minus 25 setups that you are going to take each 'season' no matter what, come hell or high water, and take them EVERY time and clearly define your risk EVERY time. Over the years as you get to know your setups you will develop appropriate intuitive discretion in position management and position sizing adjustments, etc. It only takes one or two great years, and maybe one monster year and you're set...
Timing is everything - so be there every time!

All the best,

ZDO

Aloha Herm,
How are things in wonderful Indonesia. When I traded Gold futures, out of there some years ago, I had a hard time getting information. Jakarta had papers, but they were far and few between on Bali. The Internet should take care of that.

herm4n> Do you all think we can trade seasonal spread trading blindly by just looking (charts), with 100 % win of 15 years??

To directly answer your question, If you take a trade with 100% win, and the thing goes bonkers on you. It will still have a 93% win ratio and you will have a 100% loss. So, learn by reading, before you burn by doing.

These boards and Elite are way ahead of you. Search around here and on Amazon. Get back to us with questions. You really have to use everything that you know. Study general conditions then find a spread to take advantage of it. email me and I will send you a copy of “Reminiscences of a stock operator.”

I will post something here about using tools to enter a trade. There is no reason at all why you cannot soon make successful trades using Jerry’s charts and common sense.

ZDO> It only takes one or two great years, and maybe one monster year and you're set...

To paraphrase ZDO, it only takes a few great trades a year (a monster like the current Natural Gas), and you're set...

Calendar spreads run generally below a thousand. Which is about the minimum you should have per spread? Riskier spreads need more. When you subscribe to the Weekly Spread Report, exchange minimum margins are suggested in the reports. In general they are a pain to find on line. Ross may have them. I don’t think Bernstein does.

Have a nice sweltering summer!

On Seasonal Spread Trading book by Joe Ross, He uses enter by technical analysis and exit by chart pettern and combined by MRCI ! I think it is the best strategy !!

How many of you have ever used that startegy??

Is it better than just blindly follow MRCI seasonal spread data??


Have a nice trade.......
