I use Tradenavigator from Genesis for charting. Tradenavigator has got a "Sweet Seasonal Spot" feature, which lists seasonal oppotunities in commodities and calender spreads.
I am not new to futures spreads, but I haven't traded calender spreads yet. When Tradenavigator says "KC: Jul - Mar", does it mean "Coffee contract July 2019 long / Coffee contract March 2019 short", or is it "... / Coffee contract March 2020 short"? Even the Genesis support was not sure about that. Is there a general syntax for calender spreads?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Yes myrrdin is the expert, but you only have to watch how long this trade should last, it is a 2 day trade, so why you should take a contract without volume.

Thank you very much for your replies, myrrdin and tr8er, that helps me a lot. Usually the support at Genesis is great, but I think this time I chatted with someone being new at the helpdesk. She asked me several times to wait some time to ask colleagues, so I did not have confidence at all.
