  1. FCX, was that a soy meal trade? Where did you get filled at? I have been watching the soy meal fairly closely here. Got out of a march vertical put spread at a small profit on the hard break this morning.

  2. Yep it was.

    My fill was:

    08:47:21
    March-$328.5
    (2)May-$323
    Jul-$321

    I actually was following Tradator on this one and planned to hold for more but didn't realize how much it was moving and an order I just had sitting out there got hit. Was a nice surprise to see that it hit and locked in some profit.

  5. Any thoughts on the Live Cattle April/June spread? Interesting looking chart.

  6. I am also in this trade. I feel that front month should keep going up. Any idea of fundamentals behind this backwardation ?

  7. Why ?
    Few big traders moving the markets ?
    I dont see how you can win money by moving a market outside the fundamentals. The only good reason I can think of, is when the pricing of some big volumes are based on the pricing of london wheat futures.

  9. Then, it is question of size, I am small enough to not suffer from this lack of liquidity !
