I am going to get back into the ZM fly. I have my order placed at -5.2

Yep it was. My fill was: 08:47:21 March-$328.5 (2)May-$323 Jul-$321 I actually was following Tradator on this one and planned to hold for more but didn't realize how much it was moving and an order I just had sitting out there got hit. Was a nice surprise to see that it hit and locked in some...

Wow, got filled at 3.5 this morning on ZM. I've had an order just sitting there so I can see what it is trading at when on m phone. Wasn't expecting that. I'm flat for now.

Yeah, I had on two and closed one out yesterday at about 5.4 I think. Definitely agree on it behaving weird lol

Yeah, I was planning to hold longer term also, just was thinking about getting out and trying to get back in a little higher. I doubt I will though since its 4 legs of transaction costs plus risking the spread as well. I am just sitting in it for now.

I have traded more products than ever this month LOL not necessarily more volume though, but nothing has really been going that great. No big losers and no big winners. But on the plus side I have been losing money slower when I do and starting to somewhat turn around. Are you still riding...

Well, looks like the market isn't anticipating this to be anything like last year.

Slightly off topic, but what is everyone's thoughts on nat gas today with this big storm coming? I was debating on buying a NG call. I was kind of surprised to see it is down based on how much the news is pumping the story of a historic blizzard.

I exited KW/ZW. Closed KW at 562 and then held ZW a little longer and closed it at 526 for a couple point gain. It might continue down not sure. I planned to just put KW back on once it dropped some, but I had a limit order on ZW that filled before then so am flat currently. Will probably put...

I traded out then back in to the KW/ZW spread this morning. Closed the ZW short while it was down and then entered again when it moved back up a bit. Didn't accomplish as much as I hoped but nonetheless reduced my cost by a little bit on the spread.

How about 32.25 lol I am on my phone and had to leg into it.

What are your thoughts on the KW/ZW spread at this level? Not sure if this is a good buying opportunity, or a sign that the spread probably won't widen much from here. Glad I did the Fly on ZM like you suggested and not just short the front spread like I originally considered. That would have...

Yeah, that is a good point. I figured there would be reasons as to why it would go past that level but wasn't sure what would cause it to go very far past the cost of carry. I put on a single spread at 1/2 last night. If it goes against me or stays flat for long I will just close it out. Still...

I am sitting on my hands, I feel like it could go lower fundamentally, but I question whether that will actually happen. I've been contemplating a position for the past 2 weeks but haven't held anything for more than a day. Still in FRO and have a call on USO for Jan 2016

Question, looking at soybeans, the July/August spread is almost completely flat. Am I correct in saying in a perfect world, if you bought July and sold August there should be a low risk that the spread will drop much in value because July shouldn't sell for less than August minus the cost of...

Yeah, that is a very good point. If I take that one, I will only enter if the market pulls back more. Still thinking on it, lots to learn!

I am going to chalk that up to a lucky call lol, I am still not back in yet though. I don't have a pending order so will need to wait until I get home tonight because I don't want to leg in from my phone if I do enter again. The July/Dec wheat spread is a little cheaper today I believe, I am...

Averaged in on the ZM fly at 7.2 so avg cost at 6.4. I was also in the KW/ZW wheat spread from 35.5. I regrettably got shaken out at 38.75 though. I noticed several of these spreads had sold off towards the end of january for some reason, so I was thinking I could get out and attempt to get in...
