Spread Trading (not Betting)

[wheaters]

Dear All,

I've read a little about spread trading - going long one currency pair and short a closely correlated other pair, and closing one pair out and making money at it.

Does anyone out there know of any strategies for this? Does anyone know of any good books on it? I've seen some books on spread trading commodities, but I specifically want to do forex.

Any help much appreciated.

Have a look through the articles here. I recall something about spreads a while ago.
