+Chapter 35: Futures Option Strategies for Futures Spreads 699 
+Notice that the same profit would have been made at any of the following pairs 
+of prices, because the price differential between July and September is 20 cents in 
+all cases (with July being the more expensive of the two).

+Therefore, the same 26-cent profit can be made whether soybeans are in a 
+severe bear market, in a rousing bull market, or even somewhat unchanged. The 
+spreader is only concerned with whether the spread widens from a 6-cent differen­
+tial or not. 
+Charts, some going back years, are kept of the various relationships between 
+one expiration month and another. Spread traders often use these historical charts to 
+determine when to enter and exit intramarket spreads. These charts display the sea­
+sonal tendencies that make the relationships between various contracts widen or 
+shrink. Analysis of the fundamentals that cause the seasonal tendencies could also be 
+motivation for establishing intramarket spreads. 
+The margin required for intramarket spread trading (and some other types of 
+futures spreads) is smaller than that required for speculative trading in the futures 
+themselves. The reason for this is that spreads are considered less risky than outright 
+positions in the futures. However, one can still make or lose a good deal of money in 
+a spread - percentage-wise as well as in dollars - so it cannot be considered conser­
+vative; it's just less risky than outright futures speculation. 
+Example: Using the soybean spread from the example above, assume the speculative 
+initial margin requirement is $1,700. Then, the spread margin requirement might be 
+$500. That is considerably less than one would have to put up as initial margin if each 
+side of the spread had to be margined separately, a situation that would require 
+$3,400. 
+In the previous example, it was shown that the soybean spread had the poten­
+tial to widen as much as 100 points ($1.00), a move that would be worth $5,000 if it
