Spread building with CityTrader

[Iqbal Brainch]

Hoping to get feedback from others on CityTrader's spread building functionality (demo of the system available here:

Any thoughts on how this compares to other platforms? Thanks for any feedback.

I recently started looking at spread trading on futures, and I see it works for everything including options. What are the main spreads of the trade that you know off hand? What are the main spreads of the industry that are just common, and is there a list of these someone where online or your website that I can just take from?

Right now I'm just trying to build a spread trading system with multiple spreads. I'd like to put them under algos later on, so I'm serious about spreads.

If you download the CityTrader demo from here ("www.optionscity.com/citytraderdemo"), you can see the CityTrader application lists all the exchange listed spreads. Based on volume, you can assess which spreads are more actively traded at any given time. I believe the demo has delayed market data but should be fine for those purposes. Let me know if you have any issues with it.
