IB is really dropping the ball on adding new futures markets. Dutch TTF Natural Gas Calendar Month (TTF) now trades hundreds and sometimes over a thousand contracts a day. European Union Allowance (EUA) Emissions (ECF) has also been trading hundreds of contracts a day. Each has an equivalent...

CSI Data offers COT data as part of its North American Futures package. I don't use it, so not sure about how to access it. https://apps.csidata.com/OrderUA

Yes, not all the exchanges are found on the main list. No idea why. So I often use Google to find it. Of course you can also search within the CSI program.

Yes, I use CSI. Palm Oil is: 318 1-12 318 KPO KPO FCPO MDEX Crude Palm Oil ✓ 25 25 MYR 25 tonnes MYR/tonne 1 25 VSVSVSVSVSVS 1992-10-09 2024-09-05 10:30 - 18:00✓ ✓ 54096 You can see it at https://apps.csidata.com/factsheets.php?type=commodity&format=htmltable&exchangeid=MDEX

I added the Palm Oil futures into my system. I even subscribed to the realtime quotes for the Malaysian Bursa since it is only 60 cents a month. I On to the next problem. I added the Palm Oil futures and was running my usual tests and I get the error "Specified algorithm is not allowed for...

I've done the same with KRW, but IB's website says you can trade "KRW (with special conversion functionality)." It doesn't say the same about the Ringgit but I assume it will work the same way.

I've been checking every day and it always said "No Trading Permission, Regulatory Restriction." Now I check and that message is gone and it looks like I can trade it. IB must have updated this in the last day or so. I'm still not sure what happens in terms of margin, since you have to put up...

I'm also not sure how IB handles Malaysian Ringgit margin. The currency pair is MYR.USD in TWS, but it's not listed as a tradeable currency on their website and no interest is given by them either.

TWS "order preview" tells me "No Trading Permission, Regulatory Restriction." I did enable trading permissions for Malaysia just now. Either this is not available to US traders, it takes time for the permissions to go through, or IB is still setting things up. The "Regulatory Restriction"...

I still subscribe to the cheaper real-time quotes. The ones I pay for: CDE / Montreal = 7 CAD (for CORRA, CGF/CGB, and SXF) Korea Stock Exchange - $2.00 Osaka - 200 Yen (~$2.00) Singapore - SGD 2.00 IB also has "US Securities Snapshot and Futures Value Bundle" for $10 but is free if your...

Looks like some trend followers / managed futures are getting hit hard the last two days. On the plus side, 40in20out was up 1.88% yesterday and another 1.01% so far today. So if you're shorter term, you might be doing well. On the other hand, DBMF (managed futures) fell 1.80% yesterday and is...

Makes sense since equities had been one of the strongest trends out there. Of course it depends on how you allocate among the various sectors.

I think most of us are in a similar camp regarding the direction (but not the magnitude of the recent decline relative to the gains earlier in the year). DBMF hit a high in early July and it's been down since then, much like you, but it's still up on the year. The BTOP50 hit a high in late...

No, I'm in the US.

I haven't gotten this (yet). What if my source of wealth is trading profits in my IB account?
