Spread Trading Journal - 8 Months of Records and Ongoing

[leenchoifutures]

My partner and I are both spread traders. Spread trading itself is nothing new, it involves simultaneously buying and selling two related assets, like gold and silver.

I met my partner at the beginning of 2024, and since then, we've been sharing our individual strategies with one another. By combining our insights and approaches, we’ve worked together to develop a more refined and comprehensive strategy for executing spread trades.


In June 2024, we opened an account at Kyobo Securities with a balance of 40,000,000 Korean Won, which was approximately $29,500 at the exchange rate at the time.

So far, we've primarily been active in one of the main Korean futures communities, where we've been sharing our results and trades in real-time. We now wanted to share our results even outside Korea, which is why we're starting this journal thread here.

Here's our results so far month by month:
