Anybody Noticed A Change In The Eurodollars?

+Quote from dsguns1:
Ever since Hurricane Katrina when the market was having wild swings, the dynamics of the trade in the Eurdollars has seemed to change dramatically. I think it is because there is a much larger automated presence. Anybody else agree or have a thought on it?
I don't trade them but the same thing has happened to the S&P. Much choppier, a lot more suprises and the automated systems just flood the book.

Is there some connection between NYSE program trading and ED?
if a foreign fund puts a load of cash into the nyse markets, they may well use ed to hedge the interest exposure of the money used to finance the nyse position.
thats all that comes to mind at the moment!!
otherwise it could be some exotic derivatives spread we are all blissfully unaware of!!!
Well, GE is mainly Globex, whether automated I am not as sure. But the nature of GE (liquidity, fill algo, etc) is highly suited for simple order book based automated trading (of sufficient size).
I should really run my analyzer against the current GE data set (it usually is fairly easy to scan out half-dozen or so automated systems, of their existence).

On the pure strategy-similiarity side, probably not, most of the NYSE prog trading is focused on index arb and replication anyways.
But, given the liquidity of GE (and the size based fill algo) is tempting for fairly standard order-book system (that would do sizes of, I would think > 500).
