I'm planning to enter a May Silver / April Gold spread soon, and would like opinions on which contracts to use. Anyone?
in my opinion ... comex volume has been decent on these since going electronic on globex .. plus their fees are slightly lower than ecbot at this time check with your broker on commissions for ecbot vs comex another idea ... you can scale in using the mini contracts on ecbot ( i.e. YG + YI ) just be careful on the prices you pay on the mini silver ... there is more slippage in general trading silver ... esp in mini another option could be to have a long short in the ETF's ( i.e. GLD + SLV ) different tax treatment though and sometimes the ETF's are hard to borrow
