10 million Intermarket Spreads index ETF commodities etc /
Hello
New strategy spread.
I made my initial deposit to 10 M.
I was losing big money on 1 M and i thought on a scale i was trading i should add up some money on the deposit.
For 10 M i trade 5000 SP and 500 DOW. For 1 M capital it should be 500 and 50 respectively and so on. It is safer.
SP vs DOW. I put orders every 10 points in sp and evry 100 points in dow. lets see..
Update ONLY - Intermarket Spreads index ETF commodities etc /
I Believe the sp vs DOW spread is the most profitbale for me at the moment. I will stick with it.

The way i get my numbers of unit is DOW / SP500 = 28622/3265 = 8.77 but i am biased SP. In fact i should be 9 SP and 1 DOW.
BE patient is IMPORTANT. This result took me a few days.
Please remember. I always spread..... Except when i am not 8-) My point is , in the SPY vs DIA for example i spread all the time and i add until it is profitable. I add once or twice per day, no more.
I trade mostly
SPY vs DIA vs QQQ
WHEAT vs CORN
others when opportunities arise.
That s it. The simpler the better.
Have a good week.
Patience is the key IMHO.
All in light size.
I will trade more spread in ETF PAIRS.
Employing an ETF pairs strategy may be useful when there is a disconnect between assets that are usually highly correlated.
Sector, country, and index ETFs also provide opportunities for the pairs trader, usually involving going long on a strong ETF and short on a weaker one.
It’s important to exit the trades when the assets realign or the trends of strong and weak assets reverse. It would also be wise to set a loss limit on each trade, and realize that markets are dynamic; relationships that existed yesterday may not necessarily exist tomorrow.
MRCI encourages all traders to employ appropriate money-management techniques at all times. mrci.com
This is a site above i use for season trading.
Patience is the key. It is important to trade well, not just trade !
Bear in mind i can not trade futures on this platform as i use the minimum service. I recommend the book from MRCI.

Intercommodity Spread
The Intercommodity Spread is a spread between two different commodities, but
in the same delivery month. Often this spread will set-up according to seasonality
or occasionally a harvest supply/demand picture.
The Corn-Wheat Spread
The Intercommodity Spread is our focus for today! Specifically, we will analyze
the merits of the Corn-Wheat Spread going into the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2011.
This is a trade that I have monitored since the 80’s. I believe that it was first
notable in the mid 60’s. The beauty of taking a classic trade and reviewing the trends
and history of the trade saves time in research and previous observations may even save
money on potential variances to watch for.
In this particular spread, we note that July may be a strong month for corn as the weather
conditions, plantings acreage, export numbers may still be unknown. The crop is still vulnerable
until toward harvest which is in the fall.
On the other hand, the harvest for the soft red winter wheat may be in July, allowing
the market to regard the saturation of a harvested crop.
One may look at the months; March, July and September contracts for this particular
spread trade and select another, but this is the anatomy of the spread, not to be confused with a trade
recommendation.
As a matter of fact, this spread may be reversed at another time of
the year.
June may be a time frame to review the Wheat-Corn Spread. These grains are
both feed product and may also be affected by livestock production trends, global
supply-demand figures, weather conditions and basis for the farmer.
The wheat is
typically a heavier protein cereal, while corn does not vary to the extreme. In modern
times patents on the seeds of varied grains has become big business. The USDA regulates
the delivery, grades and contract size regular for delivery. The seeds and
fertilizers must also endure disease and pests. There are Government Subsidy programs
as well in some cases to control the crops being planted. In recent times, Africa has
been know to lease land for crops to fulfill some of their required grain inventories
in countries such as China.
Technically, it is good to pull up a spread chart to monitor the merit of the potential
move. One may select their Indicators to best confirm an entry.

Trading Commodity Seasonal Patterns
There is no such thing as a sure thing, but ignoring this chronological behaviour
of seasonality and the tools readily available to help predict these patterns is
a mistake for futures traders.
A knowledgeable broker who is MRCI equipped and spread savvy is a keen idea if you want
to get into trading seasonal commodities.
The more tools you utilize within using the approach of seasonality trading can help
you in whatever commodity or commodities you wish to trade.
Trading Commodity Seasonal Patterns
Every calendar year there are different seasons. It is how we plan our lives.
Weather is the first to come to mind, but there are holidays, sports, shopping and
many more that help break up the monotony of our day to day patterns.
The commodities market is no different. Just as you use a calendar to plan and
differentiate Thanksgiving from Opening Day in baseball, you can use the same
calendar to blueprint possibly when wheat futures will be high and copper prices low.
Traders can use these seasonal patterns to their advantage because it allows a certain
degree of predictability of future price movements, rather than being bombarded by an
endless stream of often contradictory market noise. Now of course there are other
factors too numerous to list that can affect the futures markets, but certain conditions
and events reoccur at annual intervals and help traders anticipate where the market is
headed.
Seasonality Of Futures
Although not 100% accurate-as any weatherman will tell you-weather is, in fact,
the chief contributor to seasonal futures trading. The annual cycle from warm to cold
weather and then back again affects all the agricultural commodity markets as their
supply and demand coincides with the planting and harvesting seasons. However, the
annual weather pattern can stretch its power to all the commodities. For example,
demand for heating oil typically rises as cold weather approaches but subsides as
inventory is filled and decreases even more as the summer months get closer.
The calendar not only gives us climate related seasons, but also the annual
passing of important dates that then creates 'seasons' of its own. The due date for
filing U.S. income taxes is every April 15th. Monetary liquidity may decline as taxes
are paid, but rise as the Federal Reserve recirculates funds.
These annual cycles in supply and demand give rise to the seasonal price phenomena or
what we would simply call seasonality. This annual pattern of changing conditions may
cause a more or less well-defined annual pattern of price responses. Seasonality, then,
may be defined as a market's natural rhythm-an established tendency for prices to move
in the same direction around similar time most years.
In a market strongly influenced by annual cycles, seasonal price movement tendencies
may become more than just an effect of seasonal cause. It can become so ingrained as to
become nearly a fundamental condition in its own right - almost as if the market had a
memory of its own. Why? Once consumers, producers, traders, and the like fall into a
particular pattern, they tend to rely on it-almost to the point of becoming dependent on
it. This dependency can be tricky as such trading patterns do not repeat without fail.
The seasonal methodology, as does any other, has its own inherent limitations. For instance
, some summers are hotter and dryer than others thus leading to less of a supply than
what was predicted for the fall. Even trends of exceptional seasonal consistency are
best traded with common sense and caution. A basic familiarity with current seasonality
fundamentals and a simple technical indicator will help enhance selectivity and timing
of entries and exits.
Seasonal Futures Spread Trading
The Moore Research Center (MRCI) is one of the leaders in assessing these seasons and has
evaluated up to 55 years of history against the market behaviour of current contracts.
This research has been used, and still is, by major exchanges like the CME, CBOT and
others including hedge funds and traders. They are members and regulated by the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA). MRCI presents a
list of fifteen seasonal futures spread trading ideas each month, covering all commodity
sectors: grains, energies, currencies, livestock, etc. Every spread they present has
shown at least an 80 percent historic reliability over 15 years (when available) and
Moore Research provides detailed statistical data for every year the individual spread
has been tracked. Their spread trading cycles last anywhere from a week or so up to
around 3 months. Most of them average about 4-6 weeks. Each spread has a pre-determined
entry and exit date along with a pre-calculated point at which the spread would be exited
if it became a loser. Every spread is updated each day on their web site from the day it
goes on to the day it comes off and their results are recorded. MRCI uses the daily
settlement prices of the market as the values to label their entry and exit prices.
There is no such thing as a sure thing, but ignoring this chronological behaviour of
seasonality and the tools readily available to help predict these patterns is a mistake
for futures traders. A knowledgeable broker who is MRCI equipped and spread savvy is a
keen idea if you want to get into trading seasonal commodities. The more tools you utilize

The inverse correlation GOLD vs OIL 08:10 05-Sep-19
Gold can be used for speculation but is preferred as a safe haven. Crude,
on the other hand, can be used as a store of value but is preferred as a
speculative play.
This combination makes these two assets work great together as mutual hedges.
Gold helps offset the risk of higher uncertainty, while oil can take advantage of
market moves.
Broadly speaking, you could say that gold and petroleum are inversely correlated.
There are a couple of major caveats to add to that notion. The first is that more
nuance allows for more sophisticated trading. The second is that there is more to
oil prices than just the market.

Forex basket Trade the NEWS :
For most new traders, the biggest challenge is getting a profitable strategy that works
for the long term. Usually, trend-following systems are favored because they tend to have
a very good risk-to-reward ratio. Trading the currency market is essentially a numbers
game, basically traders look for strategies or systems that have a positive overall
yield. The profit factor of any strategy is also very essential, because a profitable
strategy should make more money or pips, than it loses. After some extensive research,
I have discovered one of such systems. This strategy is built on one of the oldest
trading adages around; “cut your losses early and let your profits run”
and “the trend is your friend”.
Basket trading involves opening a series of correlated or uncorrelated trades, and after
an adequate amount of time, closing the trades when the overall sum of the trades
is positive i.e. when the net value of all open trades is positive or close to our
targeted profit-value.
It is not 100% guarantee.
The Trading setup
The truth behind the Forex market is that currencies trend. This means that currencies
have a tendency to keep gaining or diminishing over a long period of time. There are a lot
of concepts about trading cycles and swings, but in reality if we were to zoom out of
our charts we would notice a very obvious and unmistakable trend direction. Basket trading
involves gauging the potential strength or weakness of a pair, and placing several trades
that align with that analysis.
