Trading with GB

One of the biggest and most common mistakes retail traders make is they look at one market in isolation. Or worse – when they look at more than one market, they ignore how these markets can work together. 

Today we will talk about adding a couple of new things to your watchlist to help you start seeing relationships. Is it easy? Nope, but is it hard? No I don’t think so, but it’s worth it. 

Ultra futures – we’ll talk about them. It should be a short podcast, but an interesting one if you don’t know about these things. So please have a listen.

In this podcast I talk about trading futures spreads. I start by looking at trading CFDs versus futures, then move into simple futures spreads (bull spread and bear spreads), then finish up with a futures condor spread in crude oil. Such fun!

I refer to a bunch of images in the podcast. You can find them here:

This podcast looks at butterfly spreads in futures, specifically crude oil. We breakdown the spread to understand the theory and directionality, and we look at how seasonal data can help us select a spread.
It is one of the new lessons from the Advanced Spread MasterClass. More details here: https://masterclasstrader.com/advanced-spread-trading-course/

This episode talks about negative interest rates. More of a concept than a market, but one that affects the trading world. 

In this chat, we talk about why negative rates are a real thing; why they are important; and how the government will make it work, even if you don’t want it to.
