Could anyone tell me how the stir futures spreads work? I am mostly interested in Bobl, Schatz, Short Stirling and whats the advantages of this market (if any).
Advantage is liquidity.
Look at spread on very short term chart ~10min and put on some bollingers.
Suggest you think twice about bobl schatz it is a visciuos monster. Have a look at Euribor schatz. Have to experiment with differnt Euribor months to find range bound spread. It aint easy.
Sterling or Euribor calendars are a bit better but then the method is too.
Only think about this if you have very low rates and a direct exchange access on a pro platform. Too many pro's already doing this. If you haven't got top kit and fast execution you will not cope with it.
