Hello Support,

I was looking at potentially trading crude oil (CL)but I notices a few things that I am hoping you can help me with.

1. I noticed that the January 2024 and February 2024 contracts are not really trading. Only the March 2024, wondering if you can explain why the March have more volume than the other two.
2. On the March contract, I notices that the date of trading isn't correct. I have attached a picture but it is showing the trading day as 1/24 and not 1/25
3. Since CL basically has continuous trading, why is there a huge gap at the start of the new day, again the time of this chart is completely off.

Thank you

Jermain

1. CLF24 January 2024 and CLG24 February 2024 contracts have expired. They are no longer trading. CLH24 March 2024 is the front month contract now. CLH24 March 2024 expiration is Feb 20, 2024. All CL contracts expire in the month prior to the contract calendar month. You should always trade the contract with the most volume. When you trade CL, you are trading 1000 Bbl of Crude Oil per contract. A $1.00 move in CL is plus or minus $1000. CL can move up or down $2000 or more in a day. Mini Crude Oil QM is 500 Bbls per contract. Micro Crude Oil MCL is 100 Bbls per contract, 1/10 the size.
