Euro Confusion

Trend Following | May 16th, 2011

A reader writes:

“As i am going through my different portfolios i am wondering what’s up with Eurodollar, seems to have extremely low volatility, much lower than another futures. Any idea whats going on?”

Fundamental question. No one knows and why would you need to know to make money?

  • Chuck

    There are things in this world that are just interesting for their own sake even if you can’t make money off of them.

  • Michael Covel

    Agreed Chuck, but the context here was someone learning trend following, and asking a fundamental question.

  • Hordac

    As “they” say (not sure who they are) “There are things that are nice to know and need to know” stick with the need to know.. Save the “nice to know” stuff when you have a lot of time to do nothing…

  • Todd Miller

    One answer to his question would be: Depending on his measure of volatility, if it is ATR, “The lower volatility will allow you to long/short more contracts. That’s as much info I can give you”.
