for your personal accounts, what easy to use and manipulate futures strip data source do you use? i use optionsxpress, ameritrade and etrade but haven’t been able to figure out how to get a futures strip which i can copy/paste/download into a sheet and analyze. i have to manually enter each strip’s tickers and compile. any easier way? free or cheap solutions only please

what do you do with strip data?

I was wondering the same thing. I guess my little PA is even more little than I thought. Though, come on, does size matter?

In your PA you can trade very forward contracts. There are lots of things about that that are easier and more profitable than trading front-month highly liquid contracts. For example, think about the difference in vol between LIBOR 1 month out and 8 years out.
