And imagine that a sequence of two 4-point drops did not manage to tighten the Brent-WTI spread, which has negative unhedged delta (currently 15 points) so it should fall together with Brent... quite the opposite - the spread is still near the highs for this contract... a 15/5 R:R trade. (Edit: managed to roll from May to Jun CL at a discount that should overcome the contango for a few months: 111-109 sold, 106.5 bought, to add lower)
Don, that's great, but can you do a <i>forward</i> one? Otherwise, IMHO, in hindsight you can always unintentionally "nudge" the levels. But, hey, whatever works for you, just not my cup of tea. Best luck/skill.
