Most traders who work with us stay in touch once or twice a week. This would allow you to continue trading even when you are busy or on vacation. There is no need to be glued to a quote screen all day. Sometimes good opportunities seem plentiful and other times we simply wait for a nice looking trade setup. Generally speaking, with all the different market combinations, there is usually a good seasonal spread available on a regular basis.
Some spreads have as little as a few hundred dollars margin requirement.
Others have substantially more. We recommend at least five to ten thousand dollars be made available for seasonal spread trading. A wide variety of trading situations to choose from. Not dependent on calling the correct market direction of individual contracts. May be easier to predict market relationship patterns than price direction.
