Just ask your broker when is the front month... that's all, any good
broker will tell you at least a few days before. Three days before
expiration ?? It should have been rolled long before. From what I know,
the little I know, the spread order is the way to go, like...
buy 1 July sugar, sell I oct sugar spread
The actual prices for each leg may appear unrealistic but the
important figure is the spread.
