Hi,

I trade exchange listed calendar spreads, primarily in the Crude Oil market. Does the Sierra trading platform support these markets?

Do you have any autospreader functionality?

Can i chart synthetic spreads, for example a bond spread, something like (3*FGBM) - FGBL etc?

Thanks

Tom

Yes exchange traded spreads are fully supported. You will want to use this service for this:
Sierra Chart / Trading Technologies Futures Order Routing Service

It has the best support for spreads. But there is a question of how the clearing firms would handle the margin requirements with TT . We do not know.

For an auto spreader, refer to this particular functionality:
Spread Order Entry Study

Yes you can do synthetic spreads as well:
Custom Calculated Symbols
Difference (Bar or Single Line)

Hi

That’s very helpful thanks.

2 follow up questions please. You mentioned I have to use the TT price feed. Will CQG not work for calendar spreads? Reason for asking is CQG has additional exchanges TT doesn’t.

And one more question. Does Sierra have a web based platform I can access if I’m working away from my usual desktop?

Thanks

You are on your own using CQG with spreads. We provide no technical support for that.

We are working on this for our TT based order routing. Not with CQG.

hello Sierra Chart Engineering,

is the Denali feed you guys are currently offering through AMP also suitable for exchange traded spreads?

I have asked AMP support through chat and they said that it was only offered through TT and CTS but he did not know about Denali, I might or might not get a mail back regarding this. I am not in the know about this but I reminded him that Denali is also TT-W (FIX).

Hope you know more. because I will give your feed a try if it does work

Yes absolutely because it does provide exchange traded spread data.

But if you also want to trade the spreads using that data, you will need to use this service:
