As you can see from my online name, I'm new to futures trading but just as an FYI. I bought MAR NYBOT #11. (Seasonality position BTW) NYBOT was advised to me as the exchange to "trade sugar" I'd be curious to read the responses to your question because you raise an interesting point...

Dearest Lar: I WISH and PRAY that the exchange were the end all the be all for contract information! The CME web site is very newbie unfriendly. Example: The Initials S.B.S. is NOT defined. The abbreviation LTD is NOT defined. the contract abbreviation LE is NOT defined. And the...

Today is August 10, 2007. If I'm bullish on corn. What would the difference be if I purchased one contract for the Sept corn versus the Dec corn? I realize the Dec expiration would give me more time, and is more expensive, on the Dec but I'd like to know if there are any other dynamics...

There are three sizes of Dow contracts. Everyone seems to be trading the YM, so I have a stupid question. Why on earth did they come out with a "jumbo" $25 contract when someone could just as easily buy 5 "YM's". Or two of the $10 dow contracts. Why would the CBOT have three products...

I find that at around 2 PM, the ES generally starts to break out of the lunchtime range and trend in some direction. I make money during this afternoon grind. However, I find that the morning session is too fast-moving. can anyone share some observations and/or strategy(ies) that work...
