Types of strategies?

Other than fundamental analysis, technical analysis and arbitrage, what sort of strategies do full time professional traders use? (I'm primarily interested in futures trading).

Most of the professionals that I've met are engaged in some sort of arbitrage.

Personally, I just punt when I think the order book looks wrong, but am not sure exactly which category that would fall into.

Equity volatility arbitrage
International statistical arbitrage
Closed-End Fund arbitrage
Capital structure arbitrage
Odd-Lot Mortgage aggregation
Commodity trend following
Environmental credits trading
Systematic pattern recognition
ECN rebate trading
PIPES

Some futures-specific strategies:

Selling Options-on-futures (e.g. Ansbacher)
Calendar anomalies (a/k/a/ "Seasonals")
Scale trading
 
Quote from Mr B:

Macro
Event based
tape reading
spreading
More...

What is Macro? Keyboard shortcuts? Or Macro economics news reports?

Can anybody recommend a book or something on rebate trading? Not sure how how one can profit from it with having to pay broker commissions for our buys and sells.
