I have an acct thru them and it clears with Advantage as of about two months ago. I was given the option of Clearing thru Advantage or Mann, so whether it was a sale or not, don't know.

Can anyone help on my prior question about hedging? 2 and 5 yr against the Ed.

Quick question. I know most of you will say that the best hedges for the Eurodollar is another calendar month, but if I want to hedge with say 5 or 2 year notes, any idea how I find the right ratio? I've always traded equity spreads and am finding a similar "stretch" and then snap back in the...

I'll give the tick charts a shot in the morning. I appreciate the input.

Fred, I spoke to a guy in Chicago who trades ED actively in the pit, and asked him the same question. He told me to look at M5 and U5. Volume is still there to do whatever size you want and the volatility is much higher than the front months. I'm in the same boat as you, momentum equities...

Great replys to all who answered. In reply to those who asked about the Reuters terminal, yes I'm happy with it but you're right, once you're an established customer of Reuters it can be challenging to get a call back. I have some contacts there so let me know if you need some help and I'll...

Hi guys, Been working with these for a few weeks now, trying to transition from the equities markets. I'm generally working the ED off the 10 year and find that I'm trading quite a few flats since there is so much "noise" in the notes. Is there anything else you guys are watching on your...

trdinglife, If you ever have the time, I would really appreciate a short phone conversation. There's 3-4 other traders in my office that are looking at the eurodollar but none of us know anyone trading it successfully at this time. At least not the electronic version. If that's possible...

If by eagle you're talking about the reduced tick spread, I've taken a look and the contracts simply don't move. I understand alot of guys are legging into the spread and then taking it off with the rts, but I don't see it as being tradeable on it's own. Keep this in mind though, I'm just an...

trdglife, I've been coming in early the last week, prior to the equity open to play with the eurodollar a bit. Seems to me that the 30 leads even more than the 10 since it moves in full ticks. Just passing along thoughts to see if I'm on the right track. Also, I always like to have my hedges...

I've been trading merger spreads in the equities for the last five years. Just recently found out about the GE calendar spreads and am looking at m5-u5 for intraday spreading and legging. Seems like a great product, I'm just a little apprehensive since both contracts trade electronically and...

thanks so much for all the replies, I think I've finally got a handle on it. I understand the frustrations, good luck to you all in the markets, whatever you trade.

If you guys wouldn't mind. I've been trading risk arb in the equities for about five years now. I was looking to trade the cash/futures spread with espeed but don't understand some of the problems you guys were encountering with the cash side in earlier posts on this thread. Sounds like the...

I appreciate the info, I'll check it out. Have you ever traded the spread?

can anybody tell me which quote provider has the cash bond symbols on the 10 and 30 year that you can spread against the futures??? Thanks in advance....
