Eurodollar Futures (GE)--anyone else trading these?

Anyone trading GEz05/GEz06?

You guys that use TWS. Are you using the spread trading function on Zerolinetrader?

 

Dude's talking about TED spread. Takes a lot of thinking to trade it, but it's a pretty interesting tool.

 

Ib margins these as spreads? Correct? I cant see anything on Ib's website. They must give the 150 dollar margin.

 

yea - got out last night at 245's for a slight profit

(i was actually z6-z5 & also out in u6-u5)

 

Hi TL,

What are the months you are currently focusing/ trading? Are there any good reasons for why not trading other months?

 

Z06/Z07 is pretty large I would think h06/h07 would be big as well

 

Re: Eurodollar futures on CME best time to trade?

Would like to know the above which was originally a question from FlyTrade.

 

The liquidity starts picking up around 7:30 am Chicago time. And usually there are some US economic numbers coming out at this time. After 3 pm, usually there aren't much movement.

 

Q
http://www.xpresstrade.com/eurodollar_futures.html

XPRESSTRADE offers trading not only in Eurodollar futures at the CME, but also at the Singapore Exchange (SGX), and the two contracts are fully fungible (meaning, a long position in Chicago can be used to offset a short position in Singapore).

UQ

Thanks for the feedback. Do you think that the above "Fungible" feature would not be much (frequently) useful?

 

Back in 2004, the SGX could do 1m contracts per month, but the business was killed by Globex offering the contracts around the clock.
In March this year, SGX volume was 3,000 for the whole month, so this isn't going to be much use to anyone.
