Effective Sunday, July 28 (trade date, Monday July 29), a new exchange-defined Balanced Strip Butterfly futures spread will be made available for trading on CME Globex.
The new spread will utilize a new strategy type (BB).
The Balanced Strip Butterfly spread will represent a differential spread composed of three legs having equidistant expirations—the near and deferred expirations of a Balanced Strip Butterfly on one side of the spread, and twice the quantity of the middle expirations of a pack on the other side (1:2:1).
The spread is currently available for customer testing in New Release.
The contracts are listed with, and subject to, the rules and regulations of CME.
