Walter,
Thought I'd tell you what I was "thinking" about the July Wheat/Corn spread
we discussed during the third week in April. As you know, I seldom trade
spreads, but found this "feed spread" very attractive. I was able to put on
these positions on at under 28. This morning I exited all positions at 46
or better.
I know this technical approach is not for everyone...but consider that
momentum oscillators can do a nice job of tracking "spreads". You can enter
and exit positions after penetrations of zero and 100; wait until the
indicator reverses below and above these levels; or devise your own
comfortable strategy (even use stops, gasp).
