How to trade high seasonality products like meats and dairies ?
Its very difficult for me to trade these products because the strong seasonality of the future curve is very important. I am used to the classic grains with the harvest time and its classic shape.
How do you deal with the shape of the term structure in meats and dairies ?
What is the classic shape ?

classical "trading spreads and seasonals" by Joe Ross
there is a little bit about seasonality in "The Complete Guide to Option Selling".

Butterfly in LC is a little bit too exotic for me, my trade was more based on last expiries behaviour than seasonality.
I should buy seasonalgo, it would be easier to test this kind of butterfly !

Out @ -1.25.
I am pissed that my target of -3 was touched on WASDE without getting filled. I lost half my profits...However , Bullish WASDE for grains in general + crop deteriorating + evidence of chinese demand still present + disappearance of the curve anomaly which put me in the trade = out.
