Lack of Volume
I'm new to this and was hoping someone could answer something for me ... I was wondering what the lack of volume on the YM is about. It seems the last 3 days or so have been very light. Is it the time of year? or a technical reason?

Thanks

Travis

Re: Lack of Volume
It'll be due to the rollover period with the volume being split between June and September contracts.

Hope this helps

Re: Lack of Volume
BTW, the YMM stops trading at the open of the cash market Friday morning, not the close Friday night. So don't have any positions open then or it will take several days to free up that capital.
