Hello,

Can you please confirm that I am entering the parameters for the OJ symbol's rollover correctly?

The product rule from the exchange states:
Last Trading Day  14th business day prior to the last business day of the month
https://www.theice.com/productguide/ProductSpec.shtml?specId=30

I am using "Number of Business Days Before Specific Business Day Before Contract Month".

I'm entering 14 as Number of Business Days and 1 as Specific Business Day Before Contract Month.

Thanks,
Steven

The question we have is what does the ICE mean by "last business day of the month". Do they mean the contract month or the month before the contract month?

Good point. I just verified it is the 14th day prior to the last business day of the contract month. For example March will be 3/11. I'm not sure how to replicate this with the rollover rules.

First Notice Day  First business day of contract month
Last Trading Day  14th business day prior to the last business day of the month
Last Notice Day   Fifth business day prior to the last business day of the contract month

You would want to set the rollover rule to be about 2 to 3 days before the contract month because you do not want to be rolling over within the contract month for a commodity futures contract.
