Book Description

Spread trading is an integral part of the commodity futures marketplace, yet relatively little has been written about spreads. There are more fingers on one hand than books about spreads.

Most books present little more than a cursory look at spread analysis. This book concentrates on the analysis of spreads and spread price action. Spread analysis is aimed at the discovery and execution of profitable spread trades. The seasonal spread texts are simply one of the tools the spread analyst uses. Before this book, futures periodicals have provided most of the published material about spreads.

This book is like having an experienced spread trader mentor take you through his experiences and getting immediate answers. It is like attending a spread seminar headed by experts. It really provides answers.

Courtney provides basic spread analysis techniques which stimulate readers to do their own research. Another goal of this book is to increase interest in spreads and provide the marketplace of ideas with a larger supply of spread trading analysts.

Mr. Smith's techniques will not make you a millionaire overnight. It didn't do it for him. On the other hand, these techniques have provided significant profits when most traders were taking losses. Each reader of this book will acquire something different from it. Some traders will be attracted to the technical analysis, while others will prefer the fundamental and statistical analysis.

The key to the successful use of this book lies in trying the methods outlined. Only through experience can traders understand what is being said. After reading this book, traders will must find the method they feel is the most profitable and best fits their perspective on the market, the one they feel most comfortable with.

5 out of 5 stars Well worth it!.......2005-11-08

This book is great for the beginner who knows nothing at all about spreads but who desires to learn and also for the intermediate trader who wants a greater depth of knowledge. The information is quite comprehensive, and presented in language that is very readable. This book help me get an understanding of the fundamentals behind markets. It belongs in the library of every trader.

4 out of 5 stars Spread textbook.......2001-11-07

Courtney Smith's textbook is specifically and comprehensive about spreads.

His whole book is about spreads and nothing but spreads. Probably the most useful Spread book from the fundamental perspective.

He has a lot to teach there is a lot to learn. It is the kind of book you'll keep in your spread-trading library. But will not by itself excite you to get up and trade.

It is comprehensive in that it stays on the subject like a dog with a bone, unlike Schwager's books that are all over the futures game.

He has a lot of experience and is well known in the field of spreads. This book is in my top ten Spread Traders library.

5 out of 5 stars A "must-read" for any investor.......2007-10-02

Schwagers book is captivating and informative. The discussion on regression provides useful insight for people interested in fundamental and technical analysis but may offend random walkers. Overall the book will enhance any readers understanding of the stockmarkets.

5 out of 5 stars Classic, encyclopedic in scope........2004-07-02

Schwager is the starting point for any serious reading on futures and options trading. Disregard comments below on its being to quantitative. No, you don't need a Ph.D. in math nor high school calculus (there isn't a single integral or differential equation in the whole book). You should have a starting basis in statistics as well as some pre-existing intuition about markets.

It is well-written and clear,and truly encyclopedic in scope : every conceivable options trade, with all permutations thereof, is discussed and dissected, even inadvisable ones (they too are informative). A classic book whose age (mine is copyright 1984!) testifies to its enduring worth. To summarize, you can't really trade futures or options and expect to make money without it.

4 out of 5 stars Futures Textbook.......2001-11-07

Schwager's textbooks while not specifically about spreads are comprehensive and complete about futures. This book has a small section about trading commodity futures spreads.

4 out of 5 stars A good reference for traders who like Math/Stat.......2001-08-07

This book could be renamed as "The Mathematics of Trading". The traget readers are traders who use lots of Mathematics and Statistics.

The experience of Schwager helped me a lot. He said he was good in analysis but not trading. Many people, including me, thought Mathematics, Statistics and Economics were essential for good trading. So they went to college, studied hard, got a degree and hope they could make money in the market. This simply never happen! Otherwise everyone should got a PhD before trading. You still need to develop a method or system. But what is vital is to control your ego. Admit mistakes quickly. This was the most interesting and useful conclusion that I got from Schwager.

4 out of 5 stars Schwager covers a whole lot of material.......1999-12-10

Very comprehensive book. Much if it is difficult to understand. Excellent writing, the clearest in the business, but author gets into some complex info. I feel he is not always fair in giving credit to other authors.

One side issue, a book this costly and technical should have a durable binding. Mine fell apart the first time I opened it. It's glued together like a paperback novel.

All in all it's the most complete single source I have seen in the commodities trading field, even includes chapters on economic theory. It's worth the price. Info on fallacies in fundamental analysis (reading the news) is unique and helpful. Also lots of very wise trading tips

Complete Guide to Spread Trading by Keith Schap
ISBN: 0071448446

The greatest American chess champion still alive once wrote a book on how to play chess. After explaining the game, he simply teaches you how to kill. Similarly Ross's Spreads & Seasonals teaches the game simply, and dives straight to the heart of how you can place your first winning seasonal spread trade.

Mr. Schaps textbook is much more complex. It is written for the already active trader, who may want to switch to or try new spreads. Advanced traders, practicing spread traders, mathematicians, and employees of hedge funds and financial firms, will find this book useful. As a result it covers everything, and updates the older spread books into this century. Mr. Schaps works for the CBOT. He does not see a conflict of interest is suggesting that traders rely on brokers for research, I do.

The author explains spreads from the left hemisphere of the brain. Anything that can simply be shown to both sides of the brain in a picture, graph or chart, is instead reduced to a complicated array of digital formulas and intricate equations.

"Spreads ... produce better results than outright trades in futures or stocks."

General principles as well as advanced ideas in the various ways to spread are taught. You do not have to read it straight through, but you can move to the areas that address your current interests. Besides futures, he goes on to cover Option spreads.

"Spreads trade around long term means ... they work back towards the mean."

Instead of using the normal spread charts, where all a trader has to seek is the spread differential to go up. Schaps takes it two levels deeper with exhibits of columns of numbers, formulas, and statistics. If you don't use arithmetic every day, run far, far away from this book and its complicated mathematical explanations of otherwise simple concepts.

"It is a good idea to focus on the spread as a whole, not on the individual legs of the spread."

In normal spread teaching, the long contract is stated first the short second. Schap because he is using rows of numbers, has to remind you what is widening and what is narrowing for each type of commodity. You buy the widening or sell the narrowing. Any mix up as to what widening means and you can find yourself on the opposite side of the spread.

"A valid spread must have a structure that ties it to the economic reality you are trying to capture."

While other writers may use simple charts showing the historical tendency. Schap examples show a much shorter period of only one or two years. Where Schap does use charts, he shows two lines instead of one. Usually he uses exhibits with columns of numbers, as an alternative to charts.

"Price has no history. Only spreads have history."

Spreads carry messages about how the market needs to draw supplies into and out of storage. "The price differentials of the spreads help the markets to regulate the flow of goods into and out of storage." A carry (contango) market (price plus storage), wants product to go into storage. An inverted (backwardation) market (penalizes storage), wants product moved out of storage.

Schaps dispenses with the confusing terms of inter and intra delivery, but uses terms like "cointegration," and "yield curve shift."

A "Normal yield curve shows a healthy economy, inverted curve, near yield higher than far yield shows slower growth. How it is changing widening or narrowing is the question. When it is widening suggests increasing demand for credit. When the yield curve is narrowing, suggests that the fed is cutting back on the amount of credit it is creating relative to the demand for credit."

Because spreads isolate the effect of change in the width of the yield curve spread. Yield spreads carry information in advance.

Unlike many spread books that may suggest vague trade dates, for spreads. Schaps has an overview and advanced concepts of spread groups for traders to refer to before making a spread trade in a new commodity. He takes you to deeper layers with the widening, & narrowing. Deeper still the effect it has on storage.

Many spread books have been criticized for using optimized trade dates. Schaps often uses unoptimized exchange expiration dates to exit many of his spreads examples.

Many books may have a chapter about spreads. Only a handful of books are about spread trading. Anyone who takes trading seriously would want to have access to all of the Spread Trading books in his personal library. One successful spread trade could buy the whole lot! In a case like that, Schaps book must be included. " The Complete Guide," is not for the beginner or uninitiated trader. As a preview to the experienced mathematician about to trade a new futures group "The Complete Guide to Spread Trading," by Keith Schap is indispensable..

2 out of 5 stars Hard to understand, difficult to read.......2005-09-30

I have been trading futures for about 3 years, and wanting to learn more about spread trading. This book is very dry reading, and difficult for a beginner to go through. No color graphs. Just boring tables with numbers, and many words. Not an easy book for a visual learner. Seasonality is hinted upon, but no good charts provided, and he does not really tell you when to do what, or what triggers or conditions to look for to enter a position. His section on spread options trading is perhaps easier to grasp, and I did learn a bit from that. A more advanced trader might perhaps glean more from this book than I did, but I do not recommend it for the beginner.

1 out of 5 stars A BIT SUSPICIOUS!!!..........2005-09-19

I have yet to read this book, however, so far the ***** average rating is quite suspicious... Each one of the three *****-reviewers, does not have a single other review in their profile. I am at the stage where I am trying to learn as much as possible about spreads' trading, so I would greatly appreciate if someone who actually has real-life experience trading futures spreads and who has also read this book, to do everyone of the rest of us a favor, and post an honest review - please, we need a counterbalance to the nonsense posted by those who are most likely associated w/ the author or his publisher...

5 out of 5 stars Another Winner From Schap.......2005-09-02

The best book I have seen on spread trading. Many successful commodity traders trade spreads - and why not - spreads provide profit opportunities, typically with lower risk than trading outrights. Schap has written an informative book that will teach spread trading basics to beginners and probably teach the veterans a few new tricks. Also, you will have a few laughs in the process.

5 out of 5 stars Good reference book on spread trading.......2005-08-19

It covers almost everything about spread trading. Although some of the spreads referred in this book are not good trades any more, they give excellent inspirations.

        ASIN: 0930706293

        Book Description

        Volume 4 of this 5-volume series on The Ultimate Book on Stock Market Timing is the most comprehensive analysis yet of all the Sun-Moon combinations and their correspondence to price movements in stock indices available today. It examines 60 years of daily data on the Dow Jones Industrial Averages, and the past 16-18 years of daily data on the NASDAQ Composite and Japanese Nikkei stock indices. The probability of 4% or greater reversals is assigned to each Sun-Moon combination, which are usually in effect 1-2 (sometimes 3) trading days per year. In all, there are approximately 30 of these 1-2 day periods that stand out as high probability trade dates each year, in each index. Thus when a Sun-Moon combination with a high correlation to 4% or greater price swings is in effect, a trader knows that this 1-2 day period offers a high probability for an isolated low or high to form, from which the market will reverse a substantial amount in a very short time. This is the ideal situation for short-term traders: high profit probability with a minimal amount of time exposure (risk) in the market.

        This book also identifies which Sun-Moon combinations have a much lower than expected correlation to short-term trading reversals, thereby allowing traders the comfort of not feeling pressured to exit (or enter) on certain dates. In addition, each Sun-Mercury and Sun-Venus sign combinations are examined for high and low probability reversal zones, and used along with Sun-Moon combinations to determine the most and least volatile times for trading stock indices. If you are a short-term trader of stock exchange futures, options, or the stock exchange traded indices on the AMEX, like the DIA, SPY, or QQQ, this is a book that can provide an extremely valuable market timing advantage. This is the "edge" that traders seek.

        3 out of 5 stars Spend your money on Merriman by buying something else.......2006-05-10

        This book was an enormous disappointment. First off I like Merriman. I came across him reading his weekly update which is enjoyable and sometimes very informative. Since the service is free I thought I would throw some money his way and I picked this book as the vehicle to do so. I forked over $95 a bit outrageous but not in the context in which I wished to spend it. I'm happy to see that Merriman or someone has reduced the price to 77.61. It needs to go lower and even then I'm not sure I would recommend this book. Here's why. With a title that uses the words Solar Lunar correlations I would be looking for an in depth study of cycles relating to the sun and moon phases. The frequency of a peak or crest at various phases and some kind of statistical relevancy. The behaviour of markets around these points and perhaps some follow up as to whether the time of year mattered. I would also have hoped for some study of the metonic and saros cycles, eclipses etc. That would be the minimum for a book that costs $95. Here's what you get. Merriman looks only at 4% moves and their frequency depending on which sign the sun moon and the planets Venus and Mercury are in. He fine tunes it a little to see if there is greater frequency peaks or crests, but what you get are bunch of tables. Now maybe in it's own right this might be an interesting study if he backed it up with a statistical analysis of the significance. In other words what is th elikelyhood that results are merely random anomalies. Unfortunately the statistics are pretty much useless. Even in the case of the Dow which has the largest dataset you just don't have the amount of data to generate any meaningful answers. And in fact it's not surprising that there are no signiture 1 signals whereas there are some for the Nikkei and the Naz (as the greater amount of data is showing that any corellation is reverting to zero). Let me give you an example say you want to see if the Dow is likely to reverse to today. So you check. The Sun is in Taurus and the Moon is Libra and will be for about 2 1/2 days. Will the market reverse. You look it up. Merriman gives it weighting of 100 meaning the statistical probability of a reversal is equal to a chance reversal based on the total data set. But now look at the amount of times an actual reversal occurred with this Sun Moon combo: 7. Now how many data points for a combo that has a high probability: That would be the Sun in Taurus Moon in Cancer: The number of ocurrences is 11. It seems like a big difference but it's statistically meaningless. That could happen randomly when number of occurences is so low. There are a few interesting observations in the book and a methodolgy for trading but without more rigorous statistics it would be hazardous to trade. And of course for those of us interested in shorter moves the book is a complete waste. Why didn't Merriman look at the the 2 or 3 days around the full moon or new moon? Again there would be limited data sets but maybe they signals would have exceed their random possiblity. Anyone who who can make a strong statistical argument that you can use these numbers should sound out. It's not that I want to criticise Merriman as I think he is well intentioned but I question his approach. While I was happy to spend the money I think others should hold off unless the price is signicantly lowered. You would be better of buying Merriman's software and then finetuning what you're looking for. There's not enough commentary or insight to make it worthwhile. But if you want to see an attempt to apply astrology to swing trades and understand the difficulty in doing so then check it out. Ultimately you get what you pay for in life. I assume Merriman wants you topay for his market timing services which is why he hobbles the parameters for this book. Ultimately I wished I had bought Volume 1 of the series which just focuses on longer cycles without the astrology. In any event I will probably buy it just to give him some more money for his efforts. Be careful though because his newer edition is not the one currently listed for sale on Amazon.

        5 out of 5 stars Key Short-Term Trading Reversal Dates Pinpointed by Merriman.......2003-06-01

        This book is Merriman's fourth book in a series of comprehensive volumes in the Ultimate Book on Stock Market Timing series:
        Volume I. Cycles and Patterns in Indexes
        Volume II. Geocosmic Correlations to Investment Cycles
        Volume III. Geocosmic Correlations to Trading Cycles
        Volume IV. Solar/Lunar Correlations to Short-Term Trading Reversals
        Volume V. Technical Tools and Trading Cycles (not yet completed)

        As is the case with his previous volumes II and III, the reader unfamiliar with astrology will have difficulty in understanding the book. Many of the astrological terms are neither clearly defined, nor explained as to their importance. Those readers familiar with astrology will have no such problems. Readers unfamiliar with astrology and the financial markets, should first read Merriman's 60-page basic primer "Basic Principles of Geocosmic Studies for Financial Market Timing."

        Volume IV is a 241-page paperback (8.5" x 11"). Very few researchers and market analysts have the stamina, knowledge, time, and skill to write one ground-breaking book on the markets. Merriman has accomplished that feat four times over, and he is not done yet, with a fifth volume underway.

        As I expected, Merriman has produced exhaustive research on the correlation of geocosmic signatures with high and low points in three equities markets. The book's hypothesis is that short-term traders can take advantage of specific reversal dates during the year that can be identified by using specific solar/lunar combinations. Most researchers who have found statistically valid correlations of data to stock prices that can be used for profitable trading, tend to keep it to themselves, and not share it with the public. Merriman has taken the opposite road and shares his years of research with all of us. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us (short-term traders) to give his findings serious consideration. Any edge that we can get in the markets is something that should be examined and put to the test.

        Merriman's reviews 60 years of DJIA price data coupled with all the Sun-Moon combinations. He also reviews similar combinations with almost two decades of data for the Nasdaq composite and the Japanese Nikkei index. He focuses on determining the important reversal dates ( one or three day time bands a few times a year) - 4% or more changes in value -- for specific Sun-Moon combinations. Traders can get ready to act on these reversal points with minimal risk. Traders who use the QQQs, SPYs, and DIAs, as well as futures and options can benefit from Merriman's identification of these timeframes.

        Merriman found that certain lunar cycles and certain Sun-Moon signs correlate consistently with tradable highs and lows in the financial markets, and identifies them. At the end of the book, Merriman has a chapter devoted to a short-term trading methodology that clearly spells out the 16 steps required to take advantage of the key reversal dates. He covers a few intraday technical indicators with his 16-step methodology, and then shows a detailed example.

        In summary, this book is another significant contribution in the area of timing the market -with specific emphasis on using solar/lunar correlations to identify high probability key reversal dates. For those readers with a solid understanding of these subject areas, the usefulness of this book is apparent. For other readers who feel that the material presented is useful, but cannot fully understand it to use it, then consider Merriman's other services that include newsletters, seminars, software, annual forecasts and reports ... In conclusion, Merriman continues to add significant value to short-term trader's ability to profit from identifiable and profitable market situations. Those who take the time to study his work will find a new tool to use.
