Ag trade ideas

Long -1Mar Feeders/-1 May Corn/+2 Aug Live Cattle = Long the cattle feeding spread @ a margin of -10962$. There is a sort of triple bottom forming on the feeding spread and it is at the same time a GF/LE correlation play. LE crashed more than GF in the last few days.

Good trade so far ...

Do you hold these trades for a certain length of time ... Or until you get to some objective pattern / price?
 
I don't know about the Russian situation as it applies to wheat so much. I do think the Russia situation and wheat bullishness bled over to the other grains last week. Option expiration is Friday, and I think funds are still long soybeans. There are a ton of soybean sold puts out there. The higher the soybean price goes, the more of those puts expire worthless.

I have an objective and a stop, but when the trade is going nowhere after a certain amount of time I will try to liquidate at my entry point or wherever it is at the time ...
 
Long Mar/ Short May FCOJ @ -1.85 on seasonals. Perhaps too early though...
Looks interesting, I'll keep an eye on it...

MRCI is suggesting H/U which has a similar pattern on the chart, but U has tiny open interest right now.

Long Mar LIFFE White Sugar/ Short Mar NYBOT Sugar @ 2583 ratio( 413.8/0.1602 ) based on correlation. My first interproduct spread. We will see what happens...

Out @ 2635 ratio:). The leg weights ( 1 for 1 )weren't perfect though and the profit is small.
 
Here's a couple trades I am currently working. SMZ/BOZ looks like it could run some more, but the squeeze action in the Sep SM contract has me wondering when the selling will start in the Dec?

Thoughts?

It's been kinda slow in the ag space for me the last month or so. I'm in SMH/BOH but it's been chopping around my entry. I'm also still hanging on to 1/2 position of LCM/G but it's running out of time.
