yeh...ag forums are just like the ag pits...we all give each other hell from time to time, but we're a close knit bunch... As far as OJ goes...the thinness CAN work to your advantage at times, but one thing to note is that setting "hard" stops is near impossible, as OJ tends to fakeout a lot...

I agree with Sandy...internals lag and tend to follow the market. BUT, I do keep track of them, but more as a confirmation tool and a tool to use to keep out of bad trades (fighting the trend). I find internal data is more useful though in finding divergences in intra-day trading to stay with...

just curious if anybody else out there trades this contract. I've dabbled in the electronic before...very similar to the pork bellies volume wise..but the spreads aren't just ridiculous. Just kind of thought of it again today when the DFA verdict came down from the CFTC today. So..am I...

anybody catch that crazy action in March lumber today? Honestly...who was buying 505 MOC?? Interesting indeed....thoughts?

various things...basis, your purchase points' "in and out" fee (what they sell the grain for over the amount they buy it for), etc. For instance in my area (Texas Panhandle): March Corn: 375.00, Avg Basis: +.10 = 3.85 per bushel. Elevator avg "in and out" fee: $.50 = cost for me to...

I am not much of a tech guy at all...I likely get laughed at by tech support people in fact. I currently trade off of a desktop with three monitors, but am wanting to get a laptop for use when traveling...mostly just to check on positions, but want the ability to make some trades as well. I...

you can, but just like transfering open stock positions, its more hassle than its worth...especially considering the volatility in today's market.

Hangin Man pattern happens at the top of a trend/swing, not at the bottom....what you have there is a bottoming tail....which if violated offer just as powerful a pattern as they normally would...just in the opposite direction

Wow..they shut the bank in Sanderson down! I'm from Texas, and have been to that area...right on the border basically. Sanderson is maybe 900 people, surrounded by rocky scrub ranchland....must've been some folks defaulting on their $1700 per acre hunting ranches. Ha ha....1 cow per 100 acres...

personally waiting for either a break of the small uptrend line or a close higher through the gap before taking a position

the only thing you'll get is delayed...but for Futuresource or Barchart are ok, preference would be Futuresource.

Well...I guess Obama will make things better with his obvious new plan for fixing Social Security and welfare programs. Allow and encourage every type of abortion imaginable...who knows maybe we can kill enough babies to make sure in 80 years Social Security isn't a problem. Don't start on...

Personally I like it...and even though I'm young...I've never had a video game system.

1. ES and all the Ag Futures 2. Why??: Because I'm still a farm kid at heart

Good Site Pabst! Don't know if its decent or even any good at all, but I've got a blog up for futures traders...mostly geared at ES and the Ags. www.com-trades.blogspot.com

no...Jan on all contracts.

Wow...talk about OTM! Did you put those on back in the spring??

still short the feeders from Aug....VERY nice trade handle!!

got long some last week, was stopped out, then bought up a bunch on Friday around 40.75 and sold half yesterday, have a trailing stop on the rest...all basis the March. Its also a great contract to daytrade...much like coffee.

I know its counter seasonal...but I'm starting to scale into some put spreads in the back month hogs (mostly the June contract). Just curious as to what you guys are thinking from a fundamental standpoint on the hogs in general.
