    I usually only watch the sequential spreads (X9-F0, F0-H0, etc.) the rest of the bean spreads are subject to stale quotes/wide markets, etc. Do you have a software platform with DDE or RTD links....I'll toss together a quick spreadsheet that links up and shows the implied out spread prices for...

    Can you hedge older T-Bonds with futures?

    Yes, the conversion factor is the easy part if it is in the deliverable basket (see attached spreadsheet). Computing the repo, carry, etc is usually the hard part for illiquid issues.

    $500/day

    $500/day is rather easy when you conceptualize it.....1 cent on a 10 lot in CBOT wheat or beans.......the risk management side of the trade becomes the fine details of any trade.

    grain spreaders

    alright, for your first question that is more something that you have to answer for yourself. Sorry to be so obtuse but when/how you position and trade is your "edge" in the ag markets. For instance, I trade the whole curve out to May 2011 if anyone wants a trade same with corn. In the bean...

    Have you looked at adds in Chicago? I wouldn't waste your time with a CFA; no one really respects it in the trading side of the industry. I think that it is meant more for the broker side of the industry. I would recommend some modest C++/C# (or even MATLAB) programming experience/education...
