bloomberg; reuters these are the industry standards...you are not likely to find anything faster...if you need streaming news to be the first to react these two are necessary...you get what you pay for...

I'll send you a PM about the size issue...but for your other question... Usually I trade smaller size until I get more familiar with how the product trades and reacts to signals and other markets...but as I said with ED, instead of having my PL in euros while paying commissions in pounds...

ahhh...so that's what you mean by, "buying into the increased volumes"... well, you bring up an interesting point, but what might explain some of this is the fact that locals in the ED pit, since the beginning of the year I believe, have been allowed to use handhelds to trade on screen as...

Scalping yes...yield curve considerations, well not so much...obviously keeping the larger picture of the curve in mind is important, but in my intraday trading my biggest indicator is the treasury market...ED tends to follow the 10yr quite well...anyway, size in that market is relatively...

not sure I understand the question? what is there to 'buy into'? I see the volumes increasing almost daily on my screen and I get updates directly from the CME stating the %volumes...unless the CME is lying to me, or the volumes on my trading screens are somehow calculated incorrectly, it is a...

by the way, pro rata fills are a bit of a tricky thing with Eurodollar...the way it works is that if you improve the price (IE if it is 53 bid and 54 and you go 53.5 bid or offered) then regardless of your size you will be filled first...however, outside of this little wrinkle, it is based on...

As I originally said, I trade ED intraday and I don't do spreads, I take outright positions in the the first few months up to SEP05...there is increasing volume and volatility of late and this makes for an intraday traders dream...I look for very short term momentum plays ie: breakouts, figure...

Wise words...it is indeed a great product...but I have to say, the volatility around the data releases is not to be feared...merely capitalized on...I have talked to many locals who are afraid of figure releases...guess what, the biggest moves in virtually any product is after one of these...

Interesting stuff BlueH...and not altogether unexpected that pit based trading in coming to a close in yet another location...since the CME allowed pit based locals in the Eurodollar to use handhelds, the screen based volumes have skyrocketed...this has led other locals to start trading it on...

First let me clarify, I am not talking about the currency! As a new member, and with my first post, I am wondering who else on this site has been trading GE. Personally, I have been trading the first four calendar months for about 6 months. I think it is a fantastic product and one that...
