FAQ
Questions Crack Spread Strategy owners ask.
- 01
What is the 3:2:1 ratio used in the analysis?
The 3:2:1 ratio represents the standard refining yield where 3 barrels of crude oil produce 2 barrels of gasoline and 1 barrel of heating oil.
- 02
How are trading signals generated?
Signals are generated using the analyze_crack_spread capability, which calculates a Z-Score. A BUY signal is triggered when the Z-Score is below -2.0, and a SELL signal when it is above 2.0, provided liquidity and margin requirements are met.
- 03
Does this capability check for market liquidity?
Yes, the validate_market_liquidity capability ensures that all constituent contracts have an open interest greater than 10,000 before a signal is considered valid.
