Just following up on this.ZM F18/H18 has moved a lot in July because H is becoming the first "brazilian discount" month. Apparently,it is a structural change due to south brazil harbors . So well, in my book, this trade is still a good one because of the low risk but F18/H18 moves won't have...

I went long ZM Z17/F18 this morning @ -1.7: -Historically low. Low risk. -F18/H18 went inverse in early July and is currently @ 0. It indicates supply can be tighter in early '18. -You never know with current drought.

Will check.

Not exactly losing 5% per annum, making 4% instead of 9% on a risky investment which definitely needs timing and some fundamental catalyst( Trump election, end of recession ). I was not the only one doing this, a good part of the HF community was long ruble since Trump got elected. As I said, I...

Spot currency. What do you mean by huge notional sizes? IB is paying 4% on RUB on RUB cash > 700000 RUB = 11800 USD. I am not a forex trader at all, so I actually don't know if IB is screwing us. It is just a way to hedge my USD exposure not a trade per se.
