There are some contracts where a continuous chart isn't really useful because of the big difference in price between contracts. LH is one. Others are LC, NG, RB, HO, and grains when the switch between old crop-new crop happens.
RB is higher in summer during driving season and lower during winter when less driving is happening. Those prices changes are built in. Mar RB is 2.64. Apr is 2.79.
HO is higher winter because of heating demands and lower summer because of no heating demand. Same for NG. Nov NG is 3.58. Jan is 3.87.
LC and LH are seasonal because of timing of demand and supply.
I got a few brokerage accounts, but after reading the review of OX, I think I may give that a try. The commission seems quite high though, especially for someone like me who like to trade frequently with smaller lots. How did you guys get special discounted rate from OX?
Thanks for your correction. The customer rep I was just talking to had a misunderstanding. Indeed, the OX website shows the rate of $3.50 for futures and futures options per contract.
Have you guys used anything other than OX, TOS, or IB? I am using IB and now I am thinking about moving to another broker. OptionsHouse (OH) and TradeKing (TK) do not offer options on futures, unfortunately.
