I agree - the wheat july-sep spread blew out to -180 at one point when usually it is never below 0. Making a trade now has to be small size, or you risk your entire account getting liquidated....

Yeah the market is definitely wild at the moment, but the reason why I really like this spread is because it's backed strongly by fundamentals - if December is at a premium, then wheat producers who...
