When trading a spread, it is naturally a hedge with a long leg and a short leg, locked into the profit and loss, this greatly reduces risk in comparison to an outright position.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, traders can trade the relative value diversion, for example, when trading within a consistent price differential and the relative value starts to diverge, a trader can make use of the diverging value as a trade opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, the seasonal trend of agricultural commodities such as soybean allows for a certain sense of expected speculation. Soybean consists of a planting and harvesting month, in which the annual cycle repeats in the same manner, leading to the shift of fundamentals based on those changes.
