It rewards creativity.
Especially in construction and management of the Eurodollar leg, if spread structure is empirical (Empricial TEDs).
Short-hand for Treasury-Swap spread (where Swap means plain-vanilla ISDAFIX standard Libor-reference IRS)
Bank credit spread Unsecured interbank (ie, London interbank offered) interest rate exposure
minus
US Treasury note yield exposure
What is Libor? Pre-Wheatley Review, Libor is narrowly defined: Interest rates on unsecured interbank placement. Post-Wheatley Review, could the basis for establishing Libor be redefined?
Treasury-Eurodollar Spread v Swap Spread TED qua Treasury-Eurodollar Spread Pure Treasury v Libor (whatever Libor turns out to be). TED qua Swap Spread Valuation of Libor-reference interest rate swaps and quotes of Libor-reference swap rates -- may be influenced by recent institutional changes in swap market regulation and practice (eg, increasing prevalence of central counterparty clearing of swaps, OIS as basis for valuation Libor-reference swaps, application of credit support annexes and various liquidity value adjustments (LVA) such as credit value (CVA) and debit value adjustments (DVA).

Futures-Futures TED is Forward-Starting Spread Exposure Notional forward settlement date is expected delivery date for Treasury futures contract. Treasury Leg Front 2-Year Treasury Note (ZT) or front 5-Year Treasury Note (ZF). Avoid contracts in delivery: Use Treasury contract prior to its First Position Day (ie, 2nd business day before 1st business day of futures contract delivery month).

ZFU3 Treasury Futures PV01 Number of GE Futures = Treasury Futures PV01/$25 $48.97 per contract $24,485 per 500-lot 979 GE per 500 ZFU3
ZTU3 $37.82 per contract $37,820 per 1,000-lot 1,513 GE per 1,000 ZTU3

Empirical TEDs Pioneered by government securities dealers and interest rate swap dealers for tactical use. TED = Forward 3-month Libor associated with an arbitrarily chosen GE contract of combination of GE contracts (stack, pack, bundle) minus Forward-starting Treasury note yield.
Pro: Agnostic, tractable, easy to trade. Con: Lacks yield that is directly comparable to Treasury yield.

Disclaimer
Futures trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss. Futures are a leveraged investment, and because only a percentage of a contracts value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for a f utures position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to profit on every trade. All references to options refer to options on futures. Swaps trading is not suitable for all investors, involves the risk of loss and should only be undertaken by investors who are ECPs within the meaning of section 1(a)12 of the Commodity Exchange Act. Swaps are a leveraged investment, and because only a percentage of a contracts value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for a swaps position.
