KC1 (“1 Month Series”)
Determining the two futures contracts in a CSO pair requires
knowing both the underlying futures contract and the length of the
spread. For Coffee "C" CSOs, the first two characters of the
contract code are KC and the last character indicates the length of
the spread.
For example, Contract Symbol “KC1”, the “1”
indicates that the second month in the spread pair is ONE month
forward from the front month of the pair. If the month symbol is
K18 (May 2018), the Contract Symbol “KC1” implies that
the second month in the pair is N18 (July 2018) – one
contract month forward from the K18.
Likewise, Contract Symbol “KC2”, would imply that the
second month in the pair is U18 (September 2018) – two
contract months forward from the K18.

future is the front month of the pair will expire on the last
trading day of the March 2018 regular option.

position of short the first month in the spread pair and long the

price of the front month is above the price of the back month in
the pair), negative (indicating the price of the front month is
below the price of the back month in the pair) or zero (indicating
the prices of the two months in the pair are the same).
