Spread trading offers traders a different way to approach the markets — focusing on the price relationship between related contracts rather than outright market direction.
In this session, participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of commodity spread trading, including how futures spreads work, the different types of spreads commonly traded, and the key factors that influence them. The webinar will also explore the relative advantages and risks of spread trading compared to outright positions, helping traders understand when spreads may be more suitable.
Through practical explanations and examples, the session provides a clear framework for identifying potential spread trading opportunities and navigating them using futures.
This session serves as a foundation for the second part of the series, where participants will explore real-world applications, strategies, and execution in a hands-on setting.
