Lol, he definitely didn't get rich by disclosing his methods. But you are right on about the second part.
Everything I know about the eurodollars markets, I know from him. He was the one who introduced me to futures.
This Ray guy was a big local in Euro's?? I don't think I've heard of him, which is odd, but we def. must know people from the same circles, does he still trade?
Yeah he's still trading. I don't think he's going to stop until he goes blind. I guess he's semi-famous. http://www.traderspress.com/detail.php?PKey=66 I mean... The last chapter of this book is about him.
If I am not mistaken,Cahnman was a treasury spread trader on the floor, nob, fob and the like.I don't think he traded Eurodollars on the floor at the Merc. I know he was one of the early adopters of screen trading.He probably began trading the swap and Eurodollar spreads once he left the floor.
Most of the guys I knew, or knew of in Chicago, who made vast amounts of money over a long period of time were spreaders of some sort. Yeild curve traders and option guys mostly.
