anyone out there trade these regularly?

Just an interesting comment...a quote from one of the largest locals down there "If I get kicked in the d!@k one more time, I'm done..."

I heard the same thing..asked about 10 different pit guys (and girls) and everyone had heard about it but no one had seen any evidence nor had any details...

I saw it...I just still don't buy it, that's all. T-Life, just out of curiosity, why did you call the run up after CPI, "ridiculous"? As I was getting stopped out of longs, I kept wondering why we weren't higher. All Fed speak keeps referring to their future moves being data driven and I saw...

Do you mean 69.50 to 67.00? I'm just trying to understand before I try to answer.

we'll speak to you in Jan., T-life.

Interesting to note that the 1 yr 2 yr portion of the curve has remained inverted all week--EDZ to EDH roll will only affect marginally because curve is so flat (EDZ expiring Monday morning)--fed should take notice at FOMC meeting--i like to bring this up at cocktail parties when i don't want to...

what suburb?

I am US based...

I wish I disagreed, but I don't...

G7 consulting group claims their sources say neutral is approx 5.5%

Greenspan can't be more blunt The market has reacted to a Bloomberg headline. According to the headline, Chrm Greenspan warned, 'those not hedged for higher rates to lose money'. Now that's giving direction...

FYI...Bloomberg: The market has reacted to a Bloomberg headline. According to the headline, Chrm Greenspan warned, 'those not hedged for higher rates to lose money'. The front end of the curve has taken the most punishment. The 2yr/30yr spread has flattened to 191 bps. This is the tightest...

folks I'm talking to feel Fed is in on next 3-4 meetings given: 1. recent data 2. $$ weakness 3. secretary Snow's comments(wants strong dollar, but will market decide). As for the choppiness, Trdinglffe, you know what I think.

They don't have an online listing of this rule change yet, but I have a hard copy...if anyone wants it faxed, let me know.

I'll post it here later today...

to all trading Eurodollars...the CME changed their electronic error policy. Make sure you guys study it, because i will affect anyone trading spreads or anyone who puts offers and bids outside of standard deviation levels hoping to take advantage of an odd move. It also confirms my suspicions...

Chris, The CME does not due this as an exchange but some individual clearing firms do. Send me a PM if you think someone is taking advantage of you in U.S. products...I used to be a broker.

The book is increasingly becoming something that I need to ignore. When I put a trade on, it is generally for 1 - 2 1/2 ticks. My signal is generated, I put the trade on, and next thing I know, some large option or swap hedger has put 12,000 contracts into the bid / ask...and always the other...

Great point...I retract the use of the word "easy". I am amending that statement to "trading size in this product is possible..." Thank you for pointing that out. If anyone notices me using the word easy with any product ever again on any thread, please correct me, as Trdinglife just did.
