Re: Popular spreads / advice?

Hi Stimpy,

Thanks for the advice -- sounds like you know ample about spreads.

What kind of wheat combinations do you think we should consider having for 'standard' spreads? I see that your example newsletter uses KCBT vs CBOT .. is that they type of spread you find most useful for trading? Is that spread useful for arbitrage trading?

Incidentally, the system will allow the user to create arbitrary spreads as well as viewing the standard spreads (which I am trying to choose). The system also allows selection of a 'multiplier' for each leg.

Very best,
Mike
