lean hogs

Quote from SuperVolatility:

I know there is money in LH but such thinly traded market scares me. Friend of my trades LH and other ags. If I recall correctly he shorted LH around .80 something in September 07 and covered right after Thanksgiving at .60 somethings. Made nice change (87K) he has be encouraging me check Ag futures.

I recently started following Soybean oil was not surprised to it collapse the past 2 days. August contract closed at 67.50 from all time high of 73... the day before.

Hats off to ag traders.

Do you trade Globex or route to the pit? There is excellent liquidity down here, and if you go mid-market from the screen, someone will usually give you a fill.
 
Quote from futuresRX:

One current spread I have on:
Short 60 Apr LH / Long 10 Jun LH / Long 35 Jul LH /Long 15 Aug LH

Another:
Short 5 May Feeders / Long 5 Aug Feeders
What is the concept behind it? sorry not family with spread trading in ag commodities.
 
Should be in cattle thread but buy aug/sell oct live cattle. 5.50 or better to the sell. IT's a good one, still long july short aug piggies.

Just seeing the price movement of which ones move up more than the other or vice versa. Also, looking in to USDA reports and upcoming news helps too.
 
Anyone else seeing April Hogs trading 5555 while the Junes are trading 7070. I had to roll today, but just discovered this price discrepency.

did they change the quantity delivered starting in June?
