This book is great for the beginner who knows nothing at all about spreads but who desires to learn and also for the intermediate trader who wants a greater depth of knowledge.

It belongs in the library of every trader.

Spread textbook

Courtney Smith's textbook is specifically and comprehensive about spreads. His whole book is about spreads and nothing but spreads. Probably the most useful Spread book from the fundamental perspective.He has a lot to teach there is a lot to learn. It is the kind of book you'll keep in your spread-trading library. But will not by itself excite you to get up and trade. It is comprehensive in that it stays on the subject like a dog with a bone, unlike Schwager's books that are all over the futures game. He has a lot of experience and is well known in the field of spreads. This book is in my top ten Spread Traders library.
