Noob CL question.

Hey everybody, sorry if this is a dumb question or has been answered before but I couldn't find it after searching. I've currently got two price ladders pulled up, one ES and one CL (simulation, so it's a 10 min delay). Currently I'm watching ES shoot up like a rocket with thousands of orders coming in, which is what I expected. However, CL is barely moving, it seems empty. I thought it was one of the most popular markets, am I missing something, like popular trading times?

a) CL is less liquid than ES.
b) Make sure that you have selected the current front month (06 at the moment).

Ah, thank you. I had it set to May, this looks much more like I expected.
