I like that trade. Well done. Especially if we get some further settlements above that trendline. I would do that spread, but I am already long July-Nov Beans and I would not want to compound forward curve risk in that space. Good eye. I'm long May-July Sugar as well, but it does not appear that those forward curves correlate to US Grains to any extent.
Exited positions @ 9:50 CT Sell to close Jul 2012 Soybeans @ 1392.25 Buy to Close Jul 2012 Soy Meal @ 378.90 = gain of $1,577.50 per spread. Biggest draw down (based on settle price) -$50.00 on 02/16/12
Stoic, Great call on your spread. Good one - I had seen that one, liked it, but didn't want to compound the long forward curve risk I already had going on in the US grain space even though yours is clearly a crush and the dynamics for products are clearly a bit different. I got out of my long Soybean July-Nov Calendar and the Sugar #11 May-July Calendar last week.
