I see...when I said "hard" I meant it went to a-up but so far (when I wrote it) was having a hard time sustaining. For us it confirmed the a-up, but flat price was failing to move out of OR, so we were looking for either a confirmation move in flat price or the a-up in the spreads to fail...

also depends on your timeframe / size of OR....it WAS a failed A-up for us. Obviously not for everyone, but on that particular spread right now, we are using a 10 min OR with A levels at 8 cents. Agree on wide / narrow. We also look at width of OR vs overnight range. Flat price CL was great...

haven't bought monitors since 2007. Upgrading one or both of the computers in my little trading office and adding a third, which will need monitors. The selection is much wider these days, and I see price ranges from $99 to $1099. I'm sure I don't need the 4k monitors, but for trading, what...

speaking of....so far, z/z cl is on a hard A-up, and back into yesterdays failed Aup range and flat price really not responding, with only a feeble attempt out of the OR. HO definitely lead in rotation....for us, we are keeping any energy length to HO and applicable inters for now. Bonds on...

not helping rb/ho that straight crack (cl/ho 1:1) gaining on the day. cl/HO trying for a failed A-down as we speak.

RBOB....hope you guys caught that....with all the intermkts and calendars higher past few days, was a good failed A down to buy into

all metals for that matter. ACD wise, I like to use the 3 day rolling pivot that Mark talked about. Seems to give a broader view of actual important price levels. HG was showing a big level at 2.62. that broke and all heck broke loose. To be honest though, my outfit does not trade any...

Quick topic for discussion since the focus recently has been on number lines. I am going to do this myself at some point, but curious if yall have the data already. Has anyone looked at number lines done on a continuous contract vs number lines on the individual contract months? the thought...

Haven't been on ET in years, and honestly, this thread brought me back. Good conversation on a method I use to compliment my own strategy in energies. Just out of curiosity, does anyone here do any business through MBF? I know once the NYMEX floors bit the dust MBF dropped their FCM status...

yes, and n/z KCBT

Using that logic, then why do livestock and lumber contracts trade longer hours than corn?? Definitely better liquidity in corn flatprice and spreads than in any of the livestock contracts...and definitely more than lumber or milk. In short...that is NOT the reason.

btw...your concern about lack of volume is completely invalid. There will be a lack of volume in the front month post FND. Actually, the combination of fund roll and options ex prior to FND will cause a volume / OI shift to the 2nd month a few days / wk prior to FND.

If you find yourself wanting to hold past FND (and a lot of us do, for spread reasons et al): 1. Keep a fresh date if long, (in applicable mkts, my knowledge is in grains and cattle) 2. know your cost to re-tender. I've seen $200-$400 per contract typically 3. Most important...

cattle and hog options, and one could even argue grain options (as far as "meaningful" goes)...albeit probably not for too much longer

which desk mount stand are you using?

major inverse in the HD spreads though...beware chasing it higher

I currently use DTN ProphetX for charting and data. I am trying to find an answer to this question; is anyone familiar with developing custom studies in this program? I am looking to import some studies from a different charting program (language is C# I believe, but not sure). Looking to...

Has anybody traded ag OTC products, whether via CME or not? Specifically looking at corn and wheat basis swaps. I see that CME offers clearing of corn basis swaps via clearport, but there is zero volume and OI, and the same is true for the MGE corn and wheat indices...good idea but zero...

put the symbols in parenthesis, so it would be: (SPY)/(QQQ)
