Yeah definitely. Didn't expect all the other dumbass responses lol.

I use Livesquawk right now, but they quote a lot of folks I follow on twitter already. Ransquawk I've looked at. It seems to be alright. What do you guys use?

Any idea what caused this distortion? Spreads were wild. First time in a while I've seen the double flies give someone a payday.

I would consider doing something a little further out on the curve. If you look at a DV01 hedged chart of TUT, it merely trades as an inverse of ZN. FOB or NOB would probably give you what the TUT used to trade. Perhaps even 5y vs ultra 10y though I would wait for ultra 10s to build up in open...

Thanks! Thanks! What about say a butterfly? For example EDZ6Z7Z8 trading at -2.0 bps

Thanks. So at 25 bps or greater spreads imply a hike in the timeframe they capture? Less than 25 implies no hike? What would imply a cut? Sorry if I'm coming off a bit dense. Maybe I am.

I understand the basic gist. I understand that if people think they will hike EDs sell off. I also understand that LIBOR rates will track the Fed Funds rate since people would just park their money at the Fed if LIBOR is lower. When looking at outright prices and spreads I get a bit lost...

So it's not XStudy?

I'm looking for an alternative preferably cheaper than CQG. I use market / volume profile and also charting custom spreads. I'm looking at Sierra Chart at the moment. Any other recommendations?

Thanks for the help.

what's the best way to figure them out?

anyone else?

what is the rationale behind the mutlipliers?

Thanks!

I'm having trouble with what to put for the spread mutipliers on these. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks. PS I'm aware that the ICS spreads are implied and get better fills, but I can't get risk for them at the moment.

What other forums do you visit for ag futures trading?

I'm not asking for anybody's secret formula. I'm just wondering what the different approaches to estimating these numbers are. I want to do some practice before next Fridays WASDE. I don't plan on trading off of what I come up with, but I would like to practice. Any suggestions? Thanks

Yeah, I got a copy, as well. I was surprised at how concise it is. It was definitely worth the money.

Thank you everyone. I really do appreciate the replies. To possibly clarify, once I get a better grasp on the fundamentals, I plan on holding positions for longer term (i.e. weeks and months). Scalping is fun, but commissions are not.
