I would do CC U/Z but beware of LE V/Z. The curve is going backwards.

Added today. Average price 0.1.

Out @ -3.:)

Out @ -0.72 for a small gain. Wasn't sure of it anymore.

Vyki, I tried to find a fix but I have never done it so I don't know. Ask Rachmaninov I know he does this kind of studies.

I think I have been able to identify a few flaws of my trading during the recent DD. First, I need to stop doubling exposure on a given market. For example, on cocoa I was short Sep/Dec and Dec/Mar because at different times both looked overvalued and I really believed at the time it was the...

I don't know why I like ags so much. At first I was trading metals and energy as well and started to get interested in ag Fundamentals. After a while, I decided to become a specialist to trade longer term larger trades. You know, physical traders specializes in only one market sometimes. But I...

With the trading we were doing on the trade ideas thread, I realized my best trades were in the back months where liquidity in fact is an issue. The more liquid the spread gets, the more trading becomes 50-50 and the edge diminishes. Don't worry about abandoning ship yet. It's just that ags are...

No. I don't trade options. I tried some stratégies but have never been profitable or more exactly never had the time to create an algo to handle passive orders that would have made those strats profitable. I once met a potential "backer" to manage OPM, but the problem is that they usually want...

Thanks rmorse, I live in Switzerland so the tax advantage doesn't apply. Perhaps you are right, I had a little success trading metals, perhaps I should try to get back in that area as well.

Hello, I have been a Professional ag futures trader for 10 years now and I am wondering if someone has ever made a successful move from futures to stocks... Long story short, I have been profitable with quite stable returns( 1 down month per year on average ) but I always had the impression...

Out @ -11. Good move near expiration.:)

Out @ 0.9 for a scratch. I am reducing the number of my positions as I am in a big drawdown. I will liquidate anything that is not super reliable in my view. Here most of the front spreads are trending in historically untested territory so It's a bad idea to fade it...

That was such a crappy trade. At the time I doubled my exposure to short cocoa spreads thinking the early january crash was the end of the inverted market. Outright didn't recover but spreads for sure are trending higher. Out@ 33.:(

Short Mar/ Long Jul17 Sugar @ 0.41.

Short Sep/Nov/Jan Robusta @ 0.

Got stopped @ -0.05. The entry was at "-" 1.850 by the way. It was meant to happen. What a smooth counterseasonal trend...:(

Removed my hedge @ 2( scratch ). Mar/May is back @ -20 and it wasn't a good hedge anyway.

Long CC K/N @ 2 because of the craziness in H/K and as a hedge for my further short CC spreads.

Here you got a really good ZS Jan/Mar17 Short @-1. Compare to Nov/Jan and Mar/May.
