OJ/ Coffee Random Musings

I am long Jan platinum, I got outta OJ yesterday for a loss. Exited my jun feb pig spreads for a gain though so it was a wash for a day. I wish I woulda bot coffee yesterday at 106!!! hahaha. My mind is kind of on other things so not doing much trading, if I see something I will though. I like the put selling caroy, that sounds intriguing

 

Oh and abotu the lumber TX please remember that my dumb ass bot at 202 way before it went down to like 186!!! and I got more bot friday at 204.50 and I just decided to book the profits, I will look long on a pullback again though

 

wheat/corn????? Last I checked cash cor n was trading higher than wheat, obviously not reflected in the futures but if wheat gets down to 1.20 to 1.30 over corn im buying the spread

 

I primarily trade by selling volatility. We are getting within a month for expiration in the Jan. I think there is a move coming in bean meal but not for another 45 days or so. i'll be trying to put on a calendar strangle. selling jan calls and march puts in meal

 

did you ever get your oj options done caroy??

 

never was able to be filled. I have the problem of tripping over dollars to get to nickles on my fills. It's a problem I have. I can't bring myself to submit market orders especially in NY option markets. I'm still looking at selling some march put spreads in OJ though but I don't want too much of a bull bias in my overall position. Thats part of looking to sell meal calls as well.

 

tx are tou llooking at buying or selling jan/march lumber

 

Rtrader...I've just got the lumber on my radar...would like to see that spread widen just a tick more, but I'm looking long the Jan/March. Waiting to see if I can get it done for 17-18 though. May take a few more days/weeks to get there. Actually tried to sell that spread today at between 13-14 trying to scalp a couple bucks but didn't get filled.

Will post charts on the blog as soon as my tech guy gets me back up and running....just using my sister's laptop right now, should be back up by morning though...he's promised to pull an all nighter!

 

My timing was a few days lost a few bob - but the sugar rally is now upon us - and guess what platform goes down today - sheez

 

monster rally to come -
