It's a technique I have developed that is quite profitable under these conditions. I basically keep a specified distance between the two positions and play the intraday swings. The positions are closed and reopened at certain intervals. It is quite a bit more involved than just that but it works quite well. I really can't get too specific since it may affect it's effectiveness! Patience is the key to it's effectiveness though. It also protects you in case of an unforseen major swing at any particular moment. BTW, they are both in the same account. Sabre!
