Something to keep in mind......the 8-10 CL
contract just became the highest traded volume contract on 6/18. So.......you may want to adjust your findings to reflect that.
CL rolls over on a monthly
basis .
Can you help answer these questions

Thanks Jeff for the kind reminder. For 8-10 CL
contract on 18-25 Jun, total 13 trades (7 Long and 6 Short) and 100% winners @ making $120/trade.
A quick question please on CL rollover. Say for 9-10 CL contract, will one switch on 20 Aug (3rd Fri of the month)? Please enlighten me. Thank you.

Hi Jeff, given I live on the other side of the world, I often trade the 6E in the middle of your night. Until about 7 or 8am ET the 6E will have 4 to 5x the volume of CL.
In addition it moves more quickly than the CL as well. Although having said all that, it is not uncommon for the CL to have a 100 pt move before the
cash open .
I agree with your referenced article. I have found that over a period of a number of months, the best time in the middle of the night is 3am to 5am (for both CL and 6E) often from 5am to 7am can be completely dead. But like all things trading, there are days when you get good moves right through to 9am ET.
