Hello everyone, say I want to short the following spread listed in the recommended spreads for May:

SELL ZCU24-ZCH25

In the Interactive Brokers TWS Is that correct if i create the combo as follows:

1) buy ZCU24
2) sell ZCH25

and then SELL the combo, thus creating a reverse calendar spread?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

you can do it in this way, but I'd recommend to switch "Search Always buy preference" to yes in User Settings and then all signals in SeasonAlgo will be with BUY.

Also if you have some position opened in Analyze/Builder then in menu you can find button with spread/future name where you can find what means SELL/BUY signal for this position, which legs should be sold / which bought.
