Other than fundamental analysis, technical analysis and arbitrage, what sort of strategies do full time professional traders use? (I'm primarily interested in futures trading). Most of the professionals that I've met are engaged in some sort of arbitrage. Personally, I just punt when I think the order book looks wrong, but am not sure exactly which category that would fall into. Regards, mauz.
Equity volatility arbitrage International statistical arbitrage Closed-End Fund arbitrage Capital structure arbitrage Odd-Lot Mortgage aggregation Commodity trend following Environmental credits trading Systematic pattern recognition ECN rebate trading PIPES Some futures-specific strategies: Selling Options-on-futures (e.g. Ansbacher) Calendar anomalies (a/k/a/ "Seasonals") Scale trading
What is Macro? Keyboard shortcuts? Or Macro economics news reports? Can anybody recommend a book or something on rebate trading? Not sure how how one can profit from it with having to pay broker commissions for our buys and sells.
