Default Re: who else on 2+2 trades professionally?

I should explain. I am primarily a spreader. Most of my trading invovles buying one contract while selling another. So for example I trade 30yr vs 10yr, 5yr vs euro$, midcap vs russell, swiss vs euro etc. So I watch the spreads and when I feel they get out of line I jump in. Some days certain spreads offer no opportunity while others do. By looking at a variety of different spread trades there are typically one or two of them that are setting up well for that day and that is where I concentrate. I also like to jump on "hot" markets like the current situation in natural gas.
