Re: Spread (pair) trading Futures

Important point he makes about how your margin requirement (should be) lowered if you have a proper spread on. So you can trade more contracts and the small amount the spread changes becomes a worthwhile trade.

Note he says this is mostly for position trading over longer term periods. I have found the hourly charts look nice.

I'll get some charts up soon.
