What is AutoHedge Boost?

AutoHedge Boost gives you the option to increase the amount of bushels priced on a specific day. For example: If the corn market reaches $4.25 during your AutoHedge contract and you like that price, you can choose to price more bushels on that day through your AutoHedge app. After boosting, an equal portion of your remaining unpriced bushels for the contract will be priced each trading day.
AutoHedge Boost Requirements:
