Eurodollar spreading

Quote from Martinghoul:

What you'll have in the quick 'n dirty case is some bucket risk. Most of the time it's not that significant, but there could be circumstances where you could lose money or make less than you should. Again key is to be aware of the trade off and make an informed decision.

If you wanna talk about the specifics, we could.

Man you have no idea.. i could ask questions till your blue in the face.. i'm trying to read as much as I can so i don't wear you out..

I'm watching this video.. picking apart what the guy is saying.. He makes alot of sense.. Of course he is going for a tick or two.. which with the commission structure at advantage futures, is possible to make money on.. right now i'm working .05 and .07 stuff in flys in crude, and sometimes .02 stuff in single switches..

I like what he talks about, order management, He uses expressions like.. "working this, while leaning on these" all the trades he is talking have many legs.. they are flys against flys.. which in turn would imply a very low commision structure.. but the more abstract point that he is making is very important to me..

I obviously need to learn duration weighting.. . and the implications/risks of being out of balance.. or as you put it, define the actual bucket risk i'm taking.. I still like to know the seemly irrelevant risks i'm taking.. but if its insignificant, its insignificant..

Yeah, so this guy is describing what is very much a strategy for locals. If you wanna talk to peeps who do this stuff, there's a PROPboards chatroom, where there's a bunch of guys doing this type of stuff. I am there, as well, even though it's not what I do.

Yes, once you do the work once and understand the procedure, you'll be able to apply it consistently. Once you do that, you'll be able to make informed decisions.
