Is it possible to trade contracts,/Futures in the Baltic dry index, or other tank indexes/Rates??

Tank rates have a VERY high level of Volatility.

Mostly a hedging market. Very low volume and not quite sure how you become a member. but the link above provides some details.
Over 2 billion notional on under 2k contracts. wow.

It's possible that the freight rates correlate strongly to the CRB index and crude oil. You're probably better off trading those instead as a proxy.

If you don't mind trading stocks. You can trade DRYS or EXM, these are pretty much following tanker rates.
