Kicking myself for closing out of the ZW/ZS spread and not reentering on the pullback, up about 25pts since I got out. :(

Can you do it through Quandl?

I notice when watching the ES a lot I won't see the price flash on the DOM but it will just appear on the chart after being a tick or two away. It of course could just be happening faster than the DOM and chart can update but im guessing it is just because they don't have true tick data.

You mean the spread has grown large or what? It is a simple crack spread. I know they had come down significantly but have spiked quite a bit lately. Not sure if they are high or not though, still new to them.

Thanks, I will take a look and see. It pulled back a bit but is starting to move again now

Flat, locked in at +5 3/4pts. I started second guessing myself on the spread a bit and wanted to lock in the gain. Now, I feel like I need to look back into the spread a bit more and reconsider, so thinking out loud here and open to input. Tradator pointed out to me they are not well...

Entered ZSN15-ZWN15 @ 467.25. I think soybeans will outperform wheat as well as the seasonality at play also.

Not sure what it means, I'm sure somebody will have a good answer, but I thought about possibly doing a fly for if things level back off, +jun/-Jul/-Aug/+Sep or something on the curve. Haven't really looked into it, but just a thought.

Not sure if anybody else can, but I can't see any of the charts you have been posting. I'm on my phone though so that might be why.

Yeah, completely understand. I believe I recall seeing somebody post about hogs on here awhile back, have any of you all been trading the April/May spread in recent years? Seems to have been quite consistent if entered a little later in the year and held until near expiration. Could anybody...

Do any of you all trade the spreads for a year or more out very much? Looking at that bloomberg screenshot, some of those spreads seem like they might have some opportunity. I know those are based on the last trade, so might not actually be quite as it appears but nonetheless. Just reading...

Sure thing, just need to figure out what all is on there and how to use it. Will post some tonight or tomorrow.

Is it pretty normal for wheat to trade this far away from full carry in the first few expirations?

I just signed up for the trial on Scarr. Haven't had a chance to mess with it yet though but I will later tonight. I've used seasonalgo briefly also, I did the trial on it. It was pretty useful I felt like. Good for coming up with ideas and testing them. I didn't pay much attention to the...

Thanks for posting that, I have access to a terminal through school, I need to put it to use on this stuff.

In a committed effort to work on holding stuff for longer, I will do the same also. And not to mention it uses hardly any margin. I just have on 2 for now.

Tradator, I followed you on the Sep/Dec wheat trade as well. I am back in ZM also at about the 5.1. I bought the 550 call on KW last week but of course sold it early, I have GOT to work on thinking longer term. Would have been quite a nice winner.

You are in TN too? I'm in middle TN in the Nashville area. I filled up for $1.79 yesterday morning.

Thanks for sharing
