I want to create both a 3:2:1 & 5:3:2 crude crack spreads to display on a quote board. I don't want to chart it out, I only want to see the quotes. How would I go about creating this so that it will display on a quote board?

Thanks,

1) Global Settings >> Symbol Settings

2) Check the 'Use Custom Symbol Settings Values' box above the Symbols list.

3) Click 'New' for a new custom symbol: Enter the following symbol for the 3:2:1 Crack Spread: (84*{RB-202605-NYMEX}+42*{HO-202605-NYMEX}-3*{CL-202605-NYMEX})/3. The symbols shown are for Interactive Brokers. Substitute the symbols you use for 'Denali' or other data feeds.

5:3:2 Crack Spread Symbol: (126*{RB-202605-NYMEX}+84*{HO-202605-NYMEX}-5*{CL-202605-NYMEX})/5

Formulas Used:
3:2:1 Crack Spread: (2 RB (2*42) + 1 HO (1*42) - 3 CL)/3
5:3:2 Crack Spread: (3 RB (3*42) + 2 HO (2*42) - 5 CL)/5

Note: RB contract: 42000 Gallons, HO contract: 42000 Gallons, CL Contract: 1000 Barrels.

4) Make sure the 'Use Formula Operators' field is set to 'yes' under settings.

What User584084 states is the way to get the spreads you are wanting. Just keep in mind that since these are not exchange traded spreads, you will not have all the Quote Board information for the symbol.
