  5. Nice day today guys!

    Managed to get long 2 contracts of may corn at 530 just like we talked about earlier. To be honest I was suprised we traded as low as we did today but going into a report tomorrow I guess it called for some short covering.

    I don't expect the report to have much effect on anything so I'm not too worried about holding positions into this thing.

    I also bought 5 may/july bean spreads at -14

    I think these are a good value (although I was a little timid to even touch them last night.....although I was scared to touch anything last night). It wouldn't suprise me if we seen this spread go to even money before its all over.

    I might be interested in also selling aug/sep beans as well but with the crop not even in the ground yet I am not yet about to sell that spread.

    Won't be scalping corn tonight but good luck to all you guys!

    $100 loss

  9. long 2 corn @ 562.5


    Profit target 573

    Market faked out a few players (including me) on that false break out to the down side. 566.5 is where shorts should puke and carry the market up to the 570 level.
