Congratulations on a splendid return for this year. I look forward to seeing how this project progresses. In particular how you integrate commodities, foreign exchange and indices into the momentum portfolio. I have experimented with various techniques using spread betting and have found that I tend only to be successful by using the spread betting account for momentum trading equities (both long and short) on a weekly time frame chart. Despite using a weekly time frame even this strategy tends to be ‘high maintenance’ on the time required to monitor (adjust stops, select new trades, measure results). It is also very frustrating when the underlying market ‘ranges’ without any clear direction.
