Over the past few years, AL has been the biggest market, in terms of volume,
on the LME. You can certainly trade it.
I'm not sure what you mean by minimum average trade.
The LME has some important differences between plain vanilla futures trading
that you should be aware of John, most certainly starting with LME Rings and
Kerbs.
The link to the LME below may explain the way that LME does their pricing
and trading, and also offers historical data series.

If your using a broker currently, you might speak with them about the LME,
as they can be helpful in explaining the structure of the LME trading.
Best,
Mike

Hi,
Thanks for the reply to my Omegalist question.
Is it actually possible to trade the AL cash? The reasn I ask is that I
find higher predictability (tradeability) in the cash price but I'm
assuming this is because it is not as tradeable (liquid) as the 3mth.
Any idea what the minimum average trade could be trading the 3mth
aluminium? I say this because my system shows an average trade of about
$200 and I'm wondering if this is way too low due to slippage/trans
problems.
Thanks again for your help.
John Barnes
