Hi Ben,

Fellow user here. I also trade spreads. Inter-market exchange-traded spreads that SC supports are listed alongside single contracts. You can see examples of this for CBOT: e.g. FYT~.FUT_SPREAD.CBOT | 5y vs 10y T-Notes. I did not see any intermarket spreads listed for ICE US/Europe. Interestingly enough, I couldn't get intramarket exchange-traded spreads for ICE Europe Brent Crude to pop up by hitting the "Get Spreads" button in "Find Symbol" dialog. Hopefully SC can comment any whether I missed anything.

Fortunately, SC does have a very nice custom spread charting capability with 4+ legs possible with any combination of multipliers on the legs using "Custom Calculated Symbols": Custom Calculated Symbols

If you trade manually, you also may get use out of the "Spread Order Entry Study" which supports up to 4 legs -- I trade via algorithm so haven't tried it: Spread Order Entry Study

Good luck in your trading!
