I've got some connections to the rice market and have always followed it on the board. About 8 years ago I ran across a CTA that offered a weekly market analysis that included Rough Rice. It wasn't super impressive but it was the only one I have ever seen for the rice market. Do you know of any market analysis services that include rice?
No. Nobody trades it because it has no liquidity and the spreads are wide. You are in Class IV milk future territory now. If you have connections to the rice market, why not ask your connections? Corner the thing! Da FUQ you are asking about an instrument that nobody trades? Are you a rice farmer looking to hedge your harvest? If not, fugheddabouddit.
wrong kind of connections. I grew up on a rice farm and still have family members growing rice. I’ve traded maybe 10 rice contracts in my life. My interest in rice market analysis is mostly to help those family members market their crop.
Welp, in all my time here, you are the first user I have seen that has a physical commodity to trade, and can utilize a futures contract which will handle your physical commodity when you wish to unload it to a counterparty. Fascinating.
I just can’t remember the CTA that I ran across years ago. His name was something like “Delauder” maybe. His analysis was mostly based on Elliot Wave and I want to think he was located in TX. I’d like to find him again but would also like to find someone who focuses more on supply/demand than TA.

I dont trade rice, but i give some away. We always ate 100% whole wheat[brown bread] as kids + brown rice [natural, not so called enriched \LOL]. Funny rice thing happened this year, the old school auto mechanic eats 100 % whole wheat [brown bread.] He saw some brown rice in my car + said ''what are you doing with that brown rice, Hispanics eat that.LOL''
