    Hi, Jordan
    I am wondering if you can help me.... I want to trade 1:1 /HO-/CL crack spread. Am I supposed to trade the following product?

    I see you use SeasonAlgo. I used it too since it was released. Very good option. Apart from seasonal patterns do you watch anything else to improve odds?

  3. No, not really. I am trading spreads long term on a daily basis. Intraday I am using outright futures.

  4. The symbol for this spread on CQG is HOECLE.

  5. To be honest, NO. I am usually just looking at the basics. Mainly on the seasonal statistics.

  6. CC stands for Cocoa my friend! Dec - Sep. CQG: CCES1U22 (it's Sep - Dec) upside down.

    I have been doing the same and results are great in times when following risk management plan rules religiously :)

    Thank you for the information. Can you post the DOM of this symbol? In Rithmic, its DOM is empty. Even in CME page, there is no volume information. Can you teach me how to trade this symbol? It doesn't look a conventional futures product....
    By the way, I am using Rithmic. To trade this crack spread, am I supposed to use CQG?
