The best time to sell a futures contract is when you've already made money on the investment, but still have plenty of time left before the expiration date. Thus, a good option would be to sell 3.5% Fuel Oil Cargoes FOB MED (Platts) vs. 3.5% Fuel Oil Barges FOB Rdam (Platts) Futures (Jan 2018) before Feb 2, 2018.
