Light Crude (CL on NYMEX & GLOBEX

[CheckM8t]

Can someone please tell me how to receive/display Light Crude (CL) that trades on GLOBEX? I'm only able to see CL on NYMEX. CQG is my data provider.

Hi CheckM8t,

Thank you for your post.

Since the Nymex exchange is part of the CME umbrella group the data you are receiving from the Nymex exchange would be the data for the CL contract traded on a CME exchange, and so rather than use the Globex you will want to use the default NinjaTrader settings where data for the CL contract is from the Nymex exchange.

I'm confused...

I was under the impression that there were 2 seperate CL sessions that trade along side each other. CL NYMEX, RTH is the open outcry, and CL GLOBEX which is electronic trading.

Hi CheckM8t,

The contract would ultimately be the same though, and the data that is provided by the feed would be for the electronic session, and you can see the specifics of the contract at the following link:
