to understand and trade unless you have a good understanding of a markets tendencies and tricks. Sometimes that doesn't even help in times when a market disconnects like it has at the present. There are numerous reasons for trading spreads, I mainly use them in a sideways market when I'm not sure which direction the market will choose to take, the northbound or the southbound.

It toke me 10 years of trading before I started to realize and make use of their value. I am certainly not the spread expert that DH is. I listened to him for many years before the light finally went on. If you hang around here long enough, that light will go on for you also. DH is one of the best when it comes to hog spreads.
