How it works
- Track the spread on a watched commodity before committing capital.

- Sell once the spread moves back in your favour.
- Reset and repeat, sizing each position to what you can afford to lose.
What you need
- $5,000 in starting capital
- About 45 minutes to learn the spread pattern before trading
- Comfort with a swinging, not a steady, return
Pros and cons
Pros
- Lowest setup cost of any high-risk method tracked
- Fast to start — no lengthy setup window
Cons
- Highest volatility of any method in this section
- Modelled hourly rate is the lowest of the eight methods overall once swings are averaged
Why this estimate
Modelled on spread volatility patterns from comparable in-game and real-world street markets, averaged across up and down swings rather than a single best-case run.
Best for
A player who wants exposure to the in-game market's volatility with a small amount of capital at risk.
