I'm confused - Why does this oil Futures chart look like this images.investorshub.advfn.com/images/uploads/2016/2/23/bqwhmwti_feb_22_cash_weird.jpg Whilst the Aprils' expiry chart looks like this : ???? images.investorshub.advfn.com/images/uploads/2016/2/23/iikzbwti_feb_22_re_april_clj.jpg I heard that oil was up today (by about 3.82 to around 33.43 - Just as reflected in the uppermost chart) Aprils' expiry though was down by .74 to 3.65 It's always been my understanding that we should be using the cash chart - but obviously one couldn't trade based on that chart ! Where do you folks get your oil charts from ?.... Are Barcharts' charts utterly useless or something ? Numbers seem all over the place as well....http://www.barchart.com/commodityfutures/Crude_Oil_Futures/CL?search=CL* Sure can't enter trades based on charts one's unsure of ! .
