    Arbitrage Profits

    Pretty easily. Equilibrium is par value between a synthetic pair and its live equivalent. If the synthetic is premium, it is sold while the discounted live pair is bought, and vice versa. Thus removing the disparity and bringing them back into equilibrium.

    Unusual Volume - CL

    I don't really know of any publications detailing the exact make up of the global system. The CME market alone has counterparties from every continent. If you want a decent foundation, get a Series 3 license (you don't need a sponsor and you will learn vast amounts). There is a relatively...

    A little question about crude curve

    Can you post an example? My initial thought is that you're seeing phantom up/down ticks. The Dec/June contracts are the most liquid in the backs, so they will trade occasionally, but the other months will not, so what you are seeing might just be stale quotes on the non-Dec/June bullets.

    A little question about crude curve

    The front 12 months have been in contango for the last ~12 months or so IIRC, ever since the Iranian oil embargo was announced. Z13 is just the current peak. The curve keeps rolling over the peak as old contracts roll off the board. October, 2011: February 1, 2012: February 22...
