is that a reply to me? This is only one of the strategies I trade at my company and yes, there is def a limit to the amount that you can make purely due to lack of liquidity aroudn these times and seeing as this is arbitrage .. it will not be aroudn for ever so might as well make hay while the sun shines (or however the saying goes).
And at you say, I def woudln't try this at home on a adsl conection, depending on your broker, you coudl be in for a shafting. You're gonna want the news to get to you as soon as the market makers get them.
