I don't personally have tick data for HRS contract, as I don't keep tick data on any wheat contracts. I have gotten tick data for corn and beans though from CQG....if you need historical tick by tick thats who I would contact.

George...I get my historical tick data from CQG. Hope that helps.

George...I replied days ago...check the first page. other than that I'm all talked out! haha!

I'm a bean trader...no bot here...spreads are just adjusting...guys coming back in doing the 2 corn over 1 bean, and have been getting some wheat over bean too the past few days....

take a look at some of the wheat spreads...85-95% full carry. It happens.

do you have to be smart? yes and no....you have to be "market smart", but that has absolutely NOTHING to do with being "book smart"...ala...a high IQ. I for instance, only went to college one year, then dropped out because it just didn't spark any interest or desire....the markets on the other...

you want trendy? go with trading the softs...low volume yes, but trendy, definitely. Coffe, OJ, Cocoa, Cotton, etc.

Depending on what add-ons you include as far as new services...yes, you can get all of that data via DTN or CQG. Cost just depends on what exchanges/add-ons you get for either.

I have used both DTN ProphetX and CQG, and both are the best imo as far as a total package for commodities. DTN is a couple hundred bucks cheaper when you factor in everything, and so far for me has been just as reliable as far as everything goes, all the way down to intra-day tick data, so I'd...

The settlement is based on a 2 day cash average. Here is the explanation from CME. Scroll to second page, rule 15203.A: http://www.cmegroup.com/rulebook/CME/II/150/152/152.pdf You can get the Lean Hog Index price off the CME site, or any newssource such as DJ Ag Wire. Feeder cattle...

for charts you'll probably want to get a software package, as opposed to anything the brokers could provide. I think ADMIS is the only broker that even has their own software that supports charting of ag spreads (both exchange recognized and custom). Look at DTN, CQG, etc. What type of...

we should start seeing at least a short term pop in all 3 wheats as we start gettting through the spring wheat harvest. As is typical though, I'd expect the KC board to outperform either Chicago or Mnpls, and Mnpls to outperform Chi. I'm also liking any of the wheat markets spread against...

I don't think this argument is necessarily applicable to the ag markets....using your same reasoning about location specifics, then the actual traded price of corn/wheat/bean futures is all a farce....simply because very few locations are par bid on the corn price. Not only is there...

Has CQG come out with an auto spreader yet? I've tried their CQG Trader via the CQG IC, but didn't think they had an auto spread feature just yet.

reminds me of the old CME fertilizer contracts....great idea, but when your people (local traders) shun it, it ain't going anywhere

if you were doing all 1000 (I'm assuming 700 futs + 300opts, correct me if I'm wrong) all on one exchange, then I'd say definitely look into it. However you are only doing half that at each (some at CME some @ ICE)...and I'm not so sure that you'd save enough to be worth the hassle. (taxes...

Matt Johnson does one for CBOT grains...not sure what its called though.

depends on your broker/FCM. Some of them these days require more than others (and more than exchange) for short options positions. As far as cash balance left over, just call them to see if they offer a way to put them into a t-bill or something. Some of the private brokers pay around a...

don't get stuck delivering/taking delivery! haha! you didn't roll out to Dec yet? btw...the beach must be nice...especially for a panhandle kid! haha!

DTN or Dow Jones Newswires. Reuters too..but not as good. Some independent analysts out there as well.
