CME Eurodollar Index Futures, OSCC Long Range Chart
This chart represents how we calculate the future value to properly price an option in the back months when there is no recent trade in the future for that contract. For more details see our Futures Accuracy page.. Comments and analysis can be found in our when appropriate..

How to read and use our charts.
This charts shows the values we are assigning for today and what the futures indicate to us the value will be at the end of the option cycle. For ZE options the chart shows our value for today and at the end of two years. This is because this series has option contracts on each of the first 8 quarterly futures. The E0 values shows today and 1 year out because these are options expiring on a quarterly basis in the first year but using futures in the second year (second 4 quarterly future contracts). This allows a trader to compare these future values with the above future values for ZE options. The E2 values shows today and 1 year out because these are options expiring on a quarterly basis in the first year but using futures in the third year (third 4 quarterly future contracts). This allows a trader to compare these future values with the above future values for ZE and E0 options. The scale on the right shows the difference between today and two years out for futures used for ZE options. This gives an overall traders sentiment value as a percentage of today's value.  As the chart shows this value increasing or decreasing you can use calendar spreads depending on your outlook to take advantage of this. You can also use this as a guide line as to where the futures are going depending on your analysis of chart directions. We realize that prior to expiration of the March 2002 Futures some of these options and future were for shorter periods, but we wanted to give an historical look at what we are using today. This charts has a "Far Futures" percentage. This is the collective average of all futures more than three years out for the last 10 days. This tells you if the futures more than three years out are higher or lower than expected based on projected values from the Today value for ZE futures. Brokers can help with strategies to take advantage of these projected values. All these lines on this chart makes this chart a little cluttered looking. Thus we removed the lines for the end vale for E0 and E2 as these lines were generally lower but had the same pattern as the Today since expiration of the March 2001 Futures. Prior to that they were for all practical purpose coincident with the Today value. We, of course, are not responsible for any decisions a trader may make using these charts.
