Hi,

Is there EuroDollar trader? I have a quick question. I have read that EuroDollar is one of the most actively traded futures. However, I took a look at the chart of EDG08 (2 minute and 5 minute) and the chart looks like a ill-liquid stock chart. Do I look at the right symbol and chart? Which forward month is the most actively traded? Thank you very much.

Yes EuroDollars are the most actively traded contract, maybe in the world. They tend to trend very nicely as well. The rub: most of the time the movement is very little. Large institutions take positions and make money on slight price changes. So the daily range tends to be very small. On a 2 min or 5 min chart it would look like an illiquid stock possibly.
