    Buy1Sell2,

    Are you on Atkins diet ? :D

    I barely understand what spreads are, let alone live cattle. Best of luck.

    looking to exit my Long June Hogs, Short April Hogs at 7.80 to the June side. I was in at 6.05 to the June, but I realize this holds no validity since I had not created the journal and posted that entry.

    I see that on the 22nd, my spread order to Sell June Hogs and buy April Hogs at 7.80 premium to the June side, was executed. This was a closeout of my position where I was long the June, short the April from 6.05 premium to the June side. --- 1.75 pts profit per contract. ($700 per)

    So far, the Long June Cattle ,Short Auggie Cattle spread is not panning out the way I would like. Oh well, even seasonality sometimes fails. We'll stay with it for a bit more and then move on.
