    How are synthetic spreads charted when one leg isn't even trading?

    I guess I have to learn more about futures spreads besides calendars. Do you have a good resource for me to read about them? It would help me to learn purpose of them, when they work and when they don't. Maybe some examples.

    How are synthetic spreads charted when one leg isn't even trading?

    I have a few questions if you don't mind. Are these futures spreads or options? What is an example of a synthetic double fly? When would you look to do these and where do you profit most? Sorry, never heard of this one. Bob
