Скотина, вот. . .
cattle delta still at very low level, risky to enter
And for pork the situation is more interesting but the spread on bacon per lot is on average $800
so don't go there.
Good evening, everyone!
My turkeys have suddenly gone "off the rails". At first I didn't know what was wrong.
But then I saw that the server was cheekily erasing yesterday's quotes!
For gold, for some currency futures.
And the cattle, too...
Is it just me or does it happen to everybody else ?

По кофе на твоих индюках как ситуация ?
For coffee, the situation is just wait-and-see.
The delta level is very low.
There are only two futures pairs that are promising to buy the spread at the moment
they are gold-silver and sugar futures
and in short term you can scalp on ZB - ZN in case of sharp delta rises
although you can find other instruments, but i can't yet cover all the futures market available in B.
As far as I understand one thing, without an excessive profit ambitions and decent depo, you can make money without much effort and open counter orders at a right time.
On average, orders can hang from two days to several months.
