  6. Never looked at these before...


    I think I am confused as to how to read this on IB. Is ZC a $1m+ contract with a $5K/point value. It's trading in 1/4s and 1/2s that sounds suspiciously expensive -- or more likely I have my calculations wrong.

    Any help here?

  7. cbot's ag traded electronically "only" during the evening session prior to last friday. This might be the information you are seeing.

  9. sstern,

    AGs are quotes in US cents.
    The contracts are pretty small, in fact.

    Corn MPV is $12.50
