“S1” indicates that the second month in the spread is one contract from the front month. The front month is March (H). This spread is between March (H) and May (K) contracts, ZCEH7 - ZCEK7. When the front month changes to K7, then the spread is ZCEK7 - ZCEN7.

To find this information in CQG Integrated Client, click the AllCon button and enter the underlying symbol. You can also click the More button and then Contract Spec.

Trading Months for Exchange-Traded Spreads

To determine the second month in an exchange-traded spread, you need to know: 1. the strategy leg gap; 2. the front month; and 3. the trading months for the contract.

Calendar Spread S Simultaneous buy and sell orders for the same commodity with different delivery months.

Reduced Tick Calendar Spread R This version of the calendar spread has a smaller minimum tick size movement than available in other strategies or outright markets.

Crack Spread Simultaneous buy order for oil futures and sell order for gasoline and heating oil futures with 1:1 ratio.

Butterfly Spread L Simultaneous buy/sell order for one contract in the near delivery month, sell/buy order for two contracts in a future delivery month, and buy/sell order for one contract with an even later expiration. The gaps between the months must be equal.

Pack P An order for a group of contracts for the same commodity in four consecutive quarterly or consecutive months.The first month of the “White Pack” is configurable and can be any month of the next four quarterly months, although it’s usually the next. The number of lots in each leg must be the same. LIFFE CONNECT® and CME Globex® currently recognize five Packs: White Pack /Red Pack /Green Pack /Blue Pack/Gold Pack.

Strip T An order for a group of contracts for the same commodity in four or more consecutive quarterly delivery months. Any quarterly delivery month can act as the first month of the strip as long as there are at least three following months available. Serial months in a product are ignored and cannot form part of a strip strategy. The number of lots in each leg can vary. Buying or sell-ing the strip involves buying or selling all months in the strip.

Bundle B An order for a group of contracts for the same commodity in each consecutive quarterly delivery month for a period of two or more years. The first month of a bundle is configurable and can be any month within the next twelve months, although it’s usually the front quarter. The number of lots in each leg must be the same. LIFFE CONNECT and CME Globex currently recognize four Bundles: 2 – Year Bundle/3 – Year Bundle/4 – Year Bundle/5 – Year Bundle.

strategy leg gap = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 12 or by demand

If every month is tradable, such as CLE and EDA, then the leg gap is equal to calendar months, for example, January to February is 1 and February to July is 6.

Some commodities trade in irregular increments. Corn allows H, K, N, U, and Z. Sugar allows H, K, N, and V. The leg gap indicates the spacing of these listed months.
