futures trading
mikid asked:


lets say chicago board of trade has soybeans offered 879 and bid at 876, how would the trade acutally work, would the buyer increase his price to match the offer or would the seller reduce his offer to match the bid. and what happens once a trade is done, do the buyers seller on the mkt then change their prices again immediately???

    yes, the buyer and sell would change their offer until the price is matched.
