Anyone Trade Call/Put Spreads on Eurodollar Futures?

Does anyone out there trade simple option stratgies for Eurodollar futures. Is there a broker out there that can handle packaged orders?

I am not talking complex multi-leg combinations. I am just taking about simple call spreads or put spreads (not even a butterfly or condor). Example: Buy EDU8 97.75 call vs. Sell the EDU8 98.00 call. Or how about just doing a TUT spread (2yr t-note future vs 10yr t-note future). Legging these trades can be painful and cost in effective.

I use IB and simple call spreads used to work. You can still construct them, but they do not execute. They have been looking into this for over two months now....customer service is lacking. Is there another broker I should look at?

wow, that's english?!!! Sorry, options are too complex for me to deal (heck, futures is complicated enough, not to mention making a profit out of them). I'm sure someone else have more experience in this.
