    Hello Again.

    I want to say that I have a little madness to the Agricultural Spreads,

    especially in all the Wheats ( CBOT, KCBT, MGEX ) and to the Ratio Soybeans/Corn.
    Someone can get free data from here:

    http://www.mgex.com/charts.html?page=mspreads ,

    Can pay an amount for to receive seasonal trades from the Moore Research Center:

    https://www.mrci.com/web/index.php .

    Also, can pay additional money for to have in the:

    https://www.tickdata.com/historical-market-data-products/futures-data/available-futures-data/

    CBOT Wheat,

    KCBT Wheat,

    Soybeans,

    Corn.

    Right now, I have a subscription to the Tick Data in the Wheats and Soybeans and Corn,

    and try to analyze charts.

    My best indicator to these charts are the moving averages.

    Right now, I do not trade them.

    Only watch them.

    Exist and the CQG Spreader but cost a lot of money in monthly basis.

    Someone must make a huge number of spreads in Futures Contracts for to worth to have the CQG Spreader.

    Kind Regards,

    George.

  5. Does someone know why there is such a gap between ZW May19 and ZW July19 ? Is there a way to put a trade on it ?

    I don't know the reason.
    You can trade kinks in the curve via a butterfly, where you would do:
    -- 1 * H9 - 2* K9 + 1 *N9
    Not sure if this is the best idea in this case though.

  7. @ryker Thanks. Just saw the spread raising from 2 to 15 in absolute values during the session.

    i have a fully automated spread trading system that i developed from a floor broker who had a extensive track record. he passed away and i would up with his materials and set out to program it into a mechanical model. it performs exactly as his work was performed by paper and pencil on graph paper.

    below is a chart of corn and oats spread you can see the trends it gets into are pretty good.

    i have everything printing out just as his manual figuring displayed. i have never done anything with it but it is one of my prize possessions.

    SRW is harvested in June. July 19 is the first 2019 crop expiry. May 19 is still a 2018 crop expiry.
