    i think it's better to sell some spread, than to try buying @ bottom

    I am a perfect countersignal on Raw Sugar...I hope that SB Oct/May doesn't gap too much tomorrow...I didn't manage to get out.

    A short statistical point : correlation shouldnt be done between non stationary series (i.e. prices).
    If you do so, you will have a lot of false positive (high correlation between random series).
    This error is made by a lot of people including Analysts at Société Générale.

    => Be careful because even 80 % could be random

    But you can calculate correlation between returns... And you will find much lower correlation.

    yep, but keep in mind it's kinda high and one clever guy thinks spread can still visit 3.500
