I look at 5 day and monthly...big and little view...it is clear from both...corn, wheat and soybeans are bearish...but honestly, whatever if you can't put into 'intraday practice'...talking to myself here :D
 
Quote from increasenow:

actually...here are the actual per r/t total commission (includes fees) breakdown...

Corn $6.82
30YR $4.32
AUS $6.40
Euro $6.40

honestly...for me, these are great roundturn...I am happy with them...I was paying $9.94 r/t until I re-adjusted some items with my brokerage....all is cool for me with the r/t commissions...

...what do some of you pay r/t for the items above???

I'll agree that May and Jul Wheat looks bearish. Didnt look at the others.

What months do you plan on trading? Do you have an idea what levels you want to get short at?

The above does not add up with the posted statement (the $9+ is close) - guess if your happy who's to argue.

IB for me.

30yr and 10yr cost is 3.54 and down from there (with volume)
EUR is 5.70 never had enough volume to see price discount.

I think why it did not add up was because my statement only showed the 3rd of 3 pages and therfore not all the trades and so when you divided, you got a higher number...anyhow...all is cool...great rates for you...do you trade 30yr and 10yr a lot?...I've not thought of a lot of use for the 10yr as the daytrade margin is basically the same as 30yr but 1/2 the point value...hmmm

I have learned to concentrate my efforts in one market, that of the bonds and notes - so yes it is my primary vehicle -

Margin for the 10yr is not quite half of the 30yr - but 10X more liquid.
