Hello John, Thank you for the earlier guidance. I can now load and trade native NYMEX CL calendar spread symbols in Trading Evaluator - Delayed, for example: `CLZ26-CLF27.FUT_SPREAD.NYMEX` For those calendar spreads, DTC order entry works, account margin/P&L updates in the Trading Evaluator account, and the DOM/chart works. However, for native CL butterfly-style symbols such as: `CL:BF M26-N26-Q26.FUT_SPREAD.NYMEX` or similar CL butterfly expressions, Sierra allows the symbol to be selected/typed, but the chart/DOM cannot load and I see messages such as: `Symbol settings not found for current service` and `Service client does not support market data subscriptions` Also, DTC security definition responses for these butterfly expressions are minimal and do not include fields such as MinPriceIncrement, CurrencyValuePerIncrement, Description, or SecurityExpirationDate. Could you please clarify: 1. Are CL butterflies unavailable in Trading Evaluator - Delayed but available through a live Teton/Denali broker connection? 2. If native CL butterflies cannot be charted, can they still be traded through DTC/Teton, or should they be considered unsupported? 3. For automation, should I restrict Sierra/DTC trading to native calendar spreads only unless a butterfly symbol returns full symbol settings and full security definition fields? |
