What is your opinion of an entry at this point to go Long Aug. 06 LC/ Short June 06 LC ... see MRCI #2627 ??

I would like to hear other's experiences on how well they get their orders filled on limit orders. My limited experience is that limit orders do not get filled so I stick with MOC orders. The one exception, however, that I have been making recently has been with NY market orders. I have been...

See: http://www.trade2win.com/boards/showthread.php?t=14499 www.mrci.com --> take a look at their free resources http://www.trade2win.com/boards/showthread.php?p=230446#post230446

Hello again fsn. This thread has gotten quiet again. Yesterday I entered the HOM6/HOH6 spread. As usual the spread was entered approximately $150 off from the close. My broker enters the spread in the NYMEX session just after close. The cattle and lean hog spreads took a hit yesterday...

Yes there is. --> go to www.futuresource.com. Go to charts. When you want to see a spread chart just type in the spread in the "Contract" box. For example for the wn6/wh6 wheat spread, you would type in "wn6-wh6". Go down and change the period to daily, keep scrolling down and you can add...

For those who want to be further educated about spread trading, let me give you the following threads that I have found invaluable (most of this comes from comments by Goldtrader): http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=16982...

GT: Please, if you would, answer an unsolicited question in this unsolicited thread: After having read read your comments about your entry signal using modified stochastics (i've resubscribed to barchart.com advanced commodities service) at elitetrade.com posts [here's the link...

Hello again. Anyone taking another look at LCJ6/FCJ6 spread that was discussed earlier. It has finally turned profitable for me. Wondering if anyone else willing to enter the spread as it stands now ? Also, yesterday I entered a Long July '06/ Short October '06 Lean Hogs spread. Any...

Hello again FN, Remember though that MRCI recommends Jan. 10 for the same trade (see Strategy #2555). You might want to check the "Special Spread Charts" section and have them email to you the lean hogs spread charts. From there you can analyze the 15 year and 5 year data. Also - remember...

Hello again GT and others, in response: Right now the trading plan that I am trying to stick with is to go "by the book" with Joe Ross' Spreads/Seasonals book. Based on that I entered the decision to go ahead with the LC/FC trade (see Kato's post showing the 1-2-3). Upon further reflection...

GT - I use futuresource.com - it will chart spreads intra-day although it's still 15-20 minutes behind the real-time.

I entered the LC/FC April'06 trade back on December 14. Needless to say I am down today by about $250 on 1 contract of each. I entered the trade on that date based upon what I saw was a 1-2-3 formation. Am I missing something, or did I misinterpret ?? GT, you are correct about the...

fn, woops...sorry, i thought i had responded to your message after mine. The lc/fc trade so far is only going so-so. Actually, I'm down about $170. Also, the lh trade is also down. However, based on the 15 year charts I expect this to happen. I have decided only to get out of a trade when...

fn- hello again. I got in on the lean hogs spread trade on 12/2. I am up $60 on that part of the trade - I had entered this same spread earlier. I entered the live cattle/feeder cattle spread on 12/14 and so far am up $65. I am also up $100 on my KW spread trade that I referred to earlier...

fn Good luck on the ED trade. (See my post on the November spread trades thread). I have also entered on Friday a separate spread trade - Long July KW / Short May KW. The basis for this is seasonal (see MRCI report on KW - it's free) and a 1-2-3 formation has formed. I hope this trade...
