Roy Huckabay

Roy Huckabay is a founding member of FuturesLine. His broadcasts include a fundamental recap every morning as well as reports throughout the day with basis updates, trade updates, and trade recommendations. Roy focuses on providing a constant flow of timely information from sources directly involved in the cash grain trade. His reports enable the evaluation of spread trades and flat price movements in futures based on what he sees happening in the cash markets.

After an extended tour of duty with the U.S. Air Force, Roy worked with the Andersons in Maumee, Ohio, managing their grain buying office and gaining vital experience in basis and cash grain trade. A member of the CBOT for more than 10 years, Roy has handled all types of orders on the CBOT grain floor, although he now finds it more comfortable to juggle two phones at once in an office away from the floor as more of the trade has gone to the electronic platforms.

Roy's trade is concentrated in commercial hedge operations for exporters and feed manufacturers. An active fund execution trade has also developed over the last five years. He provides consultations on farmer marketing while continuing to focus on risk control and option pricing alternatives.
