STIR crazy

Just wondering because this section is a little quiet - are there any non-scalping STIR traders here?

non-scalping as in not intraday but as in medium to longer term directional bets?

Yes, that's what I meant.

Of the common STIR's Eurodollar, Euribor, Euroswiss, and Short Sterling, Euroswiss seems to be the safest to short if near the very top. Although the Euroyen does seem to be the safest to scalp from the top, but when the bid-ask is unfavourable, well,

The question is,are there any scalpers left in the STIRS?Huge size - there one minute,pulled the next - is it paper?Can I rely on it for a stop?Don't these spoofers ever take a holiday?
Was trading short sterling with longer term views as found intra-day jobbing just a killer for round-trips.
Eventually switched from short sterling altogether as it was just too quiet.
