Configure Connect
Prior to offer creation and management (and subsequent futures hedges), you will need to configure your local Connect settings for offer type support and bushel minimums and maximums by commodity. Click on the Settings (cog wheel) in the upper right corner of the platform and then select the ‘Connect’ option.
Below is a table that describes each of the Connect inputs that can be customized in cmdtyView.
Offer Type | Description |
|---|---|
Cash | Indicates the offer will match based on the difference of the price and basis for the commodity. |
HTA | Indicates the offer will match based on the futures price. |
Basis | Indicates the offer will match based on the basis price for the commodity. |
Spot | Identical to Cash offers except the delivery date will dynamically roll over to the closest date as long as the offer has not expired (note: these offers are only supported for Connect only & non-Hedging (HMS) users) |
Bushel Settings | Description |
|---|---|
Min | The minimum amount of bushels that can be set. |
Max | The maximum amount of bushels that can be set. |
Allow Odd Values | The amount at which to increase and decrease the bushels. |
Alert | Description |

Configure Hedging (HMS) Account
Once your Connect settings have been established in the Settings, users that are configured for Hedging (HMS) will then need to sign into their HMS account in the 'Configure Trading & Hedging section of the settings.
Ensure that the ‘Account Type’ selected is ‘Hedging Live’ and insert the credentials provided by Barchart and/or the FCM. Once entered, click ‘Connect' and you will be prompted to fill out Terms of Service for both Barchart and CQG. For more information on cmdtyView’s Hedge (HMS), please see Hedge.
