CBOT and NYMEX

[cataloniafree]

Hi to everybody,
I am interested in trading some grains and oils,but i never before i traded that,and I need some help to someone with experience in this markets.
I am interested specially in:

mini soybean
mini wheat
rough rice(I think there aren´t mini)
mini NY crude oil
mini gas natural
mini gold
and some metals

And my questions are;
What is the warranty for this markets in IB?specially the minis.

How many can I win/loss in thie markets in a normal vollatility day,they have very big and danger range,or no? (specially the minis)

They have a big spreads in bid offer?

And all the good information will be very apreciated.
Thanks a lot

mini Wheat, Corn & Soybean have no volume! Play at your own risk.

mini Crude and soybean oil are fine but very volitile.

Mini crude and nat-gas is fine to play with but the Mini-ags are horrible with volume and spreads.

Just trade a little more size and trade the better, "big" contracts (5,000 bushels vs. 1,000 in the minis).
