waiting for HEN2020-HEV2020 to entry There is a big potential for the gorwth of this spread. Normal price difference of those 2 contract months is 10 points. (1pt = 400$) I will have eye on this spread since i see it as a huuge oportunity, which i do not want to miss. SL could be set below the recent low: -4.7 PT could be: 5-10 As i already have some contracts of this spread, i will add another contract after the spread close above that indicated level. I do not recommend to anyone to hold the position as i am doing, because i have a big account and many experiences to manage risk. But who is looking for good trade, there could be one within days. Good luck to everyone.

A spread on volatility (VIX)During this time, we are witnessing to a surge in volatility. Spreads on VIX are becoming interesting. I wouldn't consider the first deliveries as we do not yet know when this period of fear on the financial markets will end. The spread I propose is VXK20-VXM20 (to sell). As we can see from the chart, the spread has turned into an always stronger backwardation (the same did the VIX term structure). The seasonality is (in theory) bearish, but that doesn't mean the spread will drop in the next days/weeks. We have to wait for the end of this wave of panic, before selling the spread with, as the target, a return in contango.

Spread Day: Opportunity on Gold vs EURUSDI was looking for some spread opportunities to have fun with reduced risk trades. Possible opportunity relies on Gold/EURUSD spread. The week started with Gold losing 0.8% and EURUSD losing 0.10%, trading around its 20 Period SMA. I plotted XAUUSD chart and overlapped it on the EURUSD chart (using 4h candles). I found one interesting shared support ($1509 for Gold and 1.1084 for EURUSD) and one interesting shared resistance ($1601 for Gold and 1.1238 for EURUSD). Furthermore, you need to know that Gold and EURUSD are usually positively correlated (if one is UP, the other one is UP too). However, in the last weeks, the correlation did not hold, and the two securities started to be again positively correlated over the previous five days (Green vertical line). In that situation, we can analyze the spread between the two securities and, if the spread is trading near the limit of normal Standard Deviation (represented by Bollinger Bands), we can buy an asset and sell the other asset. In that graph, I represented the Gold/EURUSD Spread. The spread is currently trading around its 20 Period SMA (Purple Line). In that case, we would like to buy Gold and sell EURUSD. The ones of you able to manage risky spreads will preferably enter in that situation immediately, the "side-watchers" will prefer the opportunity to form perfectly (and it happens when the spread price reach the orange curve level). By the way, even if in this situation, I would like to enter the trade. In the graph below, you will find XAUUSD on the left and EURUSD on the right. MACD shows possible reversal during the current week for Gold and Consolidation or even reversal during the current week for EURUSD. Finally, remember that spread trading is used to make a gain on the spread difference between two assets. (No speculation on assets, but speculation between their average spread). Don't forget to like this idea and to follow me. If you have doubts on spread trading or similar topics, don't hesitate to contact me privately. Disclosure: My ideas contain statements and projections based on assumptions on capital markets, and therefore inherently subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. Before buying or selling any stock you should do your own research and reach your own conclusion or consult a financial advisor. Investing includes risks, including loss of principal.

CFDs Vs Spread Trading Explained For DummiesIn this issue, we’ll discuss the differences between both CFDs and Spread Trading… What are CFDs and Spread Trading? Spread Trading (betting) and CFDs are financial instruments that allow us to do one thing. To place a bet on whether a market will go up or down in price – without owning the underlying asset. If we are correct, we stand a chance to make magnified profits and vice versa if wrong. Both CFDs and Spread Trading, allow us to buy or sell a huge variety of markets including: • Stocks • Currencies • Commodities • Crypto-currencies and • Indices. When you have chosen a market to trade, there are two types of CFD or Spread Trading positions you can take. 1. You can buy (go long) a market at a lower price as you expect the price to go up where you’ll sell your position at a higher price for a profit. 2. You can sell (go short) a market at a higher price as you expect the price to go down where you’ll buy your position at a lower price for a profit. EXPLAINED: CFDs for Dummies DEFINITION: A CFD is an unlisted over-the-counter financial derivative contract between two parties to exchange the price difference between the opening and closing price of the underlying asset. Let’s break that down into an easy-to-understand definition. EASIER DEFINITION: A CFD (Contract For Difference) is an: • Unlisted (You don’t trade through an exchange) • Over The Counter (Via a private dealer or market maker) • Financial derivative contract (Value from the underlying market) • Between two parties (The buyer and seller) to • Exchange the • Price difference (Of the opening and closing price) of the • Underlying asset (Instrument the CFD price is based on) EASIEST DEFINITION Essentially, you’ll enter into a CONTRACT at one price, close it at another price FOR a profit or a loss depending on the price DIFFERENCE (between your entry and exit). Moving onto Spread Trading. EXPLAINED: Spread Trading for Dummies DEFINITION: Spread Trading is a derivative method to place a trade with a chosen bet size per point on the movement of a market’s price. EASIER DEFINITION: Spread Trading is a: • Derivative method (Exposed to an underlying asset) to • Place a trade (Buy or sell) with a chosen • Bet size per point on where you expect a • Market price will • Move (Up or down) • In value EASIEST DEFINITION: Spread Betting allows you to place a BET size on where you expect a market to move in price. Each point the market moves against or for you, you’ll win or lose money based on their chosen TRADING bet size (a.k.a Risk per point or cent movement). The higher the bet size (value per point), the higher your risk and reward. The costs you WILL pay with Spread Trading and CFDs Both Spread Trading and CFDs are geared-based derivative financial instruments. As their values derive from an underlying asset, when you trade using Spread Trading or CFDs, you never actually own any of the assets. You’re just making a simple bet on whether you expect a market price to rise or fall in the future. If you decide to go with the broker or market maker who offers CFDs or Spread Trading, there are certain costs you’ll need to pay. Costs with Spread Trading With Spread Trading, you’ll only have one cost to pay – which are all included in – the spread. The spread is the price difference between the bid (buying price) and the offer (selling price). EXAMPLE: Let’s say you enter a trade and the bid and offer prices is 5,550c – 5,610c. The spread, in this case, is 60c (5,610c – 5,550c). This means your trade has to move 60c to cross the spread in order for you to be in the money-making territory. Also, if the trade goes against you, the spread will also add to your losses. Why the spread you ask? The spread is where the brokers (market makers’) make their money. Costs with CFDs Brokerage With CFDs, it can be different. Depending on who you choose to trade CFDs with, you may need to cover both the spread as well as the brokerage fees – when you trade. These brokerage fees can range from 0.2% - 0.60% for when you enter (leg in) and exit (leg out) a trade. NOTE: If the minimum brokerage per trade is R100, you’ll have to pay R100 to enter your trade. Daily Interest Finance Charge The other (negligible) cost, you’ll need to cover is the daily financing charges. If you buy (go long) a trade, you’ll have to pay this negligible charge (0.02% per day) to hold a trade overnight. However, if you sell (go short) a CFD trade, you’ll then receive this negligible amount (0.009%) to hold a short trade overnight. The costs you WON’T pay as a Spread Trader With spread trading (betting), you don’t own anything physical. When you take a spread bet, you’re simply making a financial bet on where you expect the price to move and nothing else. This means, there will be no costs to pay as you would with shares including: • NO Daily Interest Finance charges • NO Stamp Duty costs • NO Capital Gains Tax • NO Securities Transfer Tax • NO Strate • NO VAT • NO Brokerage (all wrapped in the spread). The costs you WON’T pay as a CFD trader With CFDs, you’ll notice that there are similar costs with Spread Trading that you won’t have to pay including: • NO Stamp Duty costs • NO Securities Transfer Tax • NO Settlement and clearing fees • NO VAT • NO Strate 24-Hour Dealings The great thing about Spread Betting or CFD trading is that, you can trade markets trade 24/5. I’m talking about currencies, commodities and indices. And with Crypto-currencies you can trade them 24 hours a day seven days a week. I have left out a very important difference between CFDs and Spread Trading… Gearing and how it works in real life… We'll save that for next time. Do you have any questions or did you find this helpful on CFDs or Spread Trading? Let me know in the comments below... Regards, Timon Rossolimos Founer, MATI Trader

Statistically, in the previous 15 years of our seasonal window we have come to profit in 100% of cases with an average risk reward of 3:1. With this strategy we started trading years ago, bringing us considerable profits that made us understand that operating in the financial markets was an incredible potential source of income if done with professionalism and discipline.

ZWZ2019-ZSX2019 - Commodity Spread TradingZWZ2019-ZSX2019 Wheat December 2019 - Soya November 2019 Interesting spread between the December futures contract of Wheat and the November contract of Soya. As it is statistically deduced from our software, in this case the Moore Research, we have a percentage equal to 87% in which this difference is reduced, and therefore, a normal convergence of the two values of the contracts that bring their distance closer to 0 rather than move it away. The very nice thing about this type of operation is the reduction of the volatility that can cause sometimes big problems. For example if on the soya there should be some important news its value could vary suddenly and the grain, being a correlated of it, would follow it consequently and it is for this reason that through the Spread Trading these potential unexpected problems are avoided. www.mrci.com

spread wheat vs corn 07:51 27-Aug-19.LOG I spread trade WHEAT versus CORN. I follow more or less - Keith Schap – The Complete Guide to Spread Trading The guy who spreads and makes a little every day is the one who walks away with the big money.” –A veteran trader, quoted in Futures Every time i enter a trade in WHEAT i enter a trade in CORN with the same amount of units. Trade accordingly your account size. The trades can last hours, days or weeks. Patience and discipline and money management. I will not lose more than 5% of the equity. I can trade every hour or other. 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. There is no audio in my videos. This is a demo ac. I have a real ac with oanda.
