  4. ZM started moving up the past day or two, I thought maybe we were about to break out of this recent range, but looks like we might be in it for a little longer.

    Yes. Prophet X is best value for ag traders. DTN/DJ Ag newswire, charting with extensive coverage( obscure exchange like SAFEX, cash grain prices ), weather and basis maps, crop condition, Crush and carry calculators... The charts looks like the software was made in the 80s but I love it. I have just been using it for one month now...

  8. Live cattle nearly limit up right now, not sure where that came from. Looks like $8.20 or so is support on the LEJ/M spread.

    Cotton curve gone wacko again. It's like outrights move in the front months drive the front of the curve "as is" and less liquid expiries in the back get the actual move in calendars...Dec15/Mar16 is a major sell at 40 if it opens back there...

    The front spread is so weak compared to the complex. I don't regret to be out.
