Trading Stir Futures: An Introduction to Short-term Interest Rate Futures

By Stephen Aikin

Short term interest rate futures (STIR futures) are one of the largest financial markets in the world. The two main contracts, the Eurodollar and Euribor regularly trade in excess of one trillion dollars and euros of US and European interest rates each day. STIR futures are also unique because their structure encourages spread and strategy trading, offering a risk reward profile incomparable to other financial markets. STIR futures are traded on a completely electronic market place that provides a level playing field, meaning that the individual can compete on exactly the same terms as banks and institutions. The sheer number of trading permutations allows traders to find their own niche. Trading STIR Futures is a handbook to the STIR futures markets, clearly explaining what they are, how they can be traded, and where the profit opportunities are.
