Post From: Native NYMEX calendar spread position/PnL display with Teton/Sierra Chart simulator

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`
There is no support, for trading these types of spreads either live or using the Trading Evaluator.


Also, DTC security definition responses for these butterfly expressions are minimal and do not include fields such as MinPriceIncrement, CurrencyValuePerIncrement, Description, or SecurityExpirationDate.
It is a fair amount of work for us to determine what the issue is with this.


1. Are CL butterflies unavailable in Trading Evaluator - Delayed but available through a live Teton/Denali broker connection?
Will not be tradable with either.

2. If native CL butterflies cannot be charted, can they still be traded through DTC/Teton, or should they be considered unsupported?
They need to 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?
Yes calendar spreads only.
