    Hi David, you can go to www.mrci.com but it is not free. I am also using the seasonal function from Genesis Trade Navigator. Regards, Andy

    I would probably not get into the spread right now, maybe too late. If I would be in the trade I would use a trailing stop. Andy

    Cz7/cu7 It's a bear spread (two different crop years). Usually the near month moves faster, this was the reason why the spread went up. Regards, Andy

    Hi Paul, you don't need anything special for the spread trading. As long as you can chart spread it will be fine. No indicators or other stuff is required. End of day data is fine, or delayed. Yes, I have traded a lot of new spreads, but I just don't find the time to post my trades anymore. I...

    To be honest jxctntrader, I don't know what to do with this one right now. There are two moves in the oposite direction in the next 2 weeks. I would probably wait till I get a better picture. Andy

    Apples, this was just meant to be an example. Would have been a good idea to enter mid of last year. No recommendation to enter right now. Andy

    I agree with Charlie in what he says above. Maybe we should seperate the spreads into two groups. Spreads where both sides are related (corn - corn spread for example) and spreads where both sides are not related (corn - emini s&p :D ). A spread trader normaly is interested in spreading...

    What you see above is called an "Equity Spread". The problem with the spread above is the following: One unit move in FC is $500 and one unit move in LC is $400. This is a problem because you can not look at LC-FC, you would get wrong numbers. What you can do is the following. You multiply...
