Spread trading no longer works

I have read things over the last few weeks that have made the few hairs on my head stand on end. Things that show that a large proportion of traders have no idea what spread trading is

  1. Hi Mr Carli. My experience with spread trading in recent month are the following. To stubborn follow seasonal patterns lead to considerable losses. So I changed my attitude: I give more attention to the development of outright, I give more importance to correct position management (e.g. not to increase position size by believing blindly in a target). The beauty of spreads is however: they often come back to ‘normal’. If not in the actual, expected constellation it will often happen in a later, similar one. And once more: I appreciate your contribution very much, don’t stop it. With kind regards from Switzerland. Enrico H.
