Can I trade exchange listed Nymex crack spreads on IB? If I create them using the combo trader it tells me that execution is not guaranteed, so I assume that means it's a software generated spread rather than an exchange one.

You're forecasting a big decline for Monday? If so, why?

Which agricultural reports cause the most volatility? I've looked at the USDA calendar, but have no idea which reports I should be extra watchful of.

I'm looking for some info on delta neutral trading products on Eurex, as the eurexchange site appears to be a bit lacking. Any online links would be most appreciated. When placing orders, does the trader get to specify the volatility level at which he'd like to place the trade, or the option...

I went long again in the afternoon. Am long now.

I am long and not wrong. I expect the futures to rally by 11am and will be spending the profits in the Big P by lunch time. Which way are you guys positioned? Good times!
