thanks again for the info...

shorting the Sept 2005 Eurodollar 95.50 PUT

i have only done equity options and have no experience in futures, so can you explain how this works? i assume the 95.50 price is the discount on a Eurodollar contract paying off at par in Sep 2005. so that works out to whatever YTM is implied by the 4.50 discount till then? is there a quick way to figure out the implied amount of rate hike? such as a free web calculator or Excel plug-in?

also, is the margin requirement the same as when shorting equity options?

also, what do you rely on for a data source on stuff like the Eurodollar? and how did you get up to speed on this stuff? i.e., is there a recommended "Futures for Dummies", etc... thanks in advance...
