I think you're on the right track, depending on the contract you trade. Considering that the average range has been about 6-10 full ticks a day for the past year or so (once again, depending on which contract you're trading), it might be a little difficult to achieve your goal of 4 1/2 - 6 ticks...

it also adds liquidity into the outrights for those of us who trade them by adding to the "implied" bid or ask, the quantities on either leg of a a spread order.

Contracts are identical (though not fungible) and it is acknowledged even by CME execs and life-long members that the LIFFE platform is better. CME, however, has made it easy for large market makers to transition from pit to screens, there by keeping liquidity providers trading there which in...

interesting topic to pursue...in the ED pit (which I am from, originally) you are correct in saying that your hand may be ignored if you were not part of the club. That's part of the reason that I left the pit, but using a well known open outcry broker would fix the problem. My point is this. 1...

% shifting to the screens is fact, but where did the CME find all these New Eurodollar traders hiding that were only interested in the product when it went electronic? I speak to large MM's and large institutions and they are not trading more, they are trading less. Overall volume has increased...

How much do you buy into those "increased volumes"?

Correct...and you're welcome.

For me, it depends on recent volatility, and the recent trend. If I get a signal, I'm going with the trend and there is high recent vol, then I look for 4-8 whole ticks (ED futures trade in 1/2 ticks). If I'm scalping counter trend (even with high vol), then usually 1/2 to 1 1/2 ticks.

Many do, but much more useful for longer term positioning then day trading. Friends of mine use it to help pick entry and exit levels. I myself, am not that familiar. Ranges in Eurodollars can be very tight for 3-5 days, then explode one way or the other.

I trade this way as well. Intraday. 5-30 contracts at a time, depending on my target and stop. My trades last 1-2 days, although I will leave something on longer if I have enough into it to comfortably leave a break even stop. One of the beauties of this product is that it is widely used by...
