DISCLAIMER: THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT I COULD BE WRONG.

No Trading Today

I spent the day learning how to use CQG's Spreader. Hopefully, we will see improved fills. If the execution are really good, perhaps we can try to execute more intra-day scalping. One interest thing was that ethanol futures didn't work at all in their Spreader (at least not against corn); it took support staff about 30 minutes to sort out some bugs. This indicates they have about zero customers trying to execute that spread.

    Did things get straightened out?

    Straightened out enough to use it, though the labeling was still ugly--for some reason CQG seems to price ethanol in dollars and corn in cents. Getting them on the same scale shouldn't be difficult, but there seemed to be a glitch caused by corn trading in quarters (posted as eighths) of a cent and ethanol trading in tenths.
