I thought there are only March, June, September and December Euro dollar futures. But when i checked CME website, i saw those April, May, July contracts??

When you looked there was August also... There are 4 serials in the USD market, so that at any time there is 1M resolution in the 6M front end after which the resolution is 3M.

Needless to say, the serial contracts are significantly less liquid.

'Cause people just can't be bothered, I guess... Those contracts are not used as underlying for any options, either.
