ok, yeah, I meant before the futures expire like cotton and coffee, but you are right. regardless that is the reason its so crazy

not to correct you but there is no first notice in sugar, it is expiration today. it is super thin and therefore mix that with people needing to get stuff done and out of position, it's going to have wild moves. This happens a lot with spreads about to expire, makes for some fun trading.

yeah honestly rough rice is illiquid enough in the active month lol, gluck though.

usually first notice that is correct I believe though I would check with IB, at least with the softs I've known that to be the case...but you better check in case they decide to close it out for you.

well I don't know and honestly doesn't really matter, just checking if it's an options market maker or some guy trading futures from the floor...

kc local? the futures pits have been closed for over a year...

options local? where did you hear this...yes option vols are all over the place...idk though Im hearing conflicting stories about this squeeze apparently there is a squeeze but at the same time the harvest is supposed to be great and there are no weather problems so I really don't know...

wow those spreads blew out today n/u n/z u/z z/h I haven't seen that in a long time...seems like some big time London trader was covering his shorts...of course they do this on N options expiration...suspicious, but then again what can you expect from coffee.

looks like n/q doesn't like the -1.00 to -.90 area and keeps coming off...4000 lot order flashed on the offer today around the -1.28 area. We'll have to see where this goes, especially with what's going on with BP.

how is cocoa a hedge for wheat?

thank you spread professor under a different name lol, no I'm sure he is good but there are many other resources out there contrary to what has been said here...there are a couple of books online(Amazon), but really all it takes is checking out levels on charts and having an idea of fundamentals...

ha this article is funny, Coffee is in and of itself a manipulated market, I don't even bother with that garbage anymore. No news here, move along.

well...this big trade is looking good so far.

horrible, I have optionsxpress as a second broker I can't stand their platform, freezes all the time...I do like the free DJ newswires though.

look on craigslist sometimes they have stuff on there...or find a firm that is on the floor and see if they have jobs.

not sure about how many ms, but they can also change settings so quotes don't change with every increment of the underlying...there are tons of factors...how fast is your computer, how fast is your line.

retail wise I like Think or Swim...commissions on Interactive Brokers is better...I have also been recently using Live Vol Pro, good platform for volatility information

you can buy calls if you think the price will blow through your strike by expiration and stay there aka enough to pay for your premium...you could also sell those expensive (vol-wise) downside puts and/or buy calls against it...you could just buy the stock...of course if we get another leg down...
