ETF / Futures Arbitrage: FXE and EUR Futures

This is the arbitrage constructed from trading the CME-listed EUR/USD Futures contract (6E) against the CurrencyShares Euro Trust ETF (FXE).  Similar posts can be found discussing the IWM/TF and FXB/6B spreads.  The synthetic spread between the two products can be bought or sold, depending on which trades you make in the underlying legs (6E, FXE).  Due to the nature of both Globex and the many electronic markets providing liquidity for FXE, this particular trade is once again relegated to the realm of microsecond and co-located trading.
