    Dear all,

    Let's assume I am trading crude oil. June2020 is the most active/liquid contract today. Let's say I sell 1 lot CL June2020. Let's say I have a profitable intra spread trading strategy. Therefore, I also buy 1 lot CL July2020.

    Besides having profitable intra spread trading strategy, I also have a profitable scalping strategy. What happen to the existing spread pair if I execute the scalping strategy as below:

    1. buy 1 lot CL June2020 (open position) and sell 1 lot CL June2020 (exit position ~ SL/BE/TP)?
    2. sell 1 lot CL June2020 (open position) and buy 1 lot CL June2020 (exit position ~ SL/BE/TP)?

    Regards,

    Both will be closed. You need a different account for scalping.
