Hi Opus,

Don't know anything about IB....
You should know if you have an account...? <smile>

This Wheat 'thing' is an interesting study between Technical Analysis and Fundamental factors.

Except for the spike in prices in 1996 the fundamentals have kept the price range bound between 295^00 and 230^00 for almost 3 years... very tight. At some point this coil get so tightly wound it's got to break. TA should be able to locate area's that are open for that move.

There are 5 TA practioners here, who I know follow and commodities charts. Perhaps something will evolve that makes taking a position of interest...?

Chip

Hi Opus, You can trade grains on the ACE network but they only trade the overnight session. As far as I know, you can't trade anything traded in the pits during the day with IB since they are all electronic. You can trade T-bonds because CBOT has an electronic version ( ZB ) but not agriculturals.
