    IB- my ZN stop orders trigger only during RTH

    Using TWS Build 855.5 with java version 1.5.0_04 At night tried to place an order to enter ZN on a stop or stop limit. Either way, a clock symbol came up saying only during RTH. But when I tried a limit order TWS accepted that. I checked my "Global configuation-Order-Order defaults" and...

    What two currencies [other than the US dollar] trade in close lockstep with one another, but not in lockstep with the dollar? What would be best for my purpose would be one currency that is actually pegged to another.

    The FINEX does not [currently] have it as electronically traded. The IMM RYU5- does not seem to trade too often, but I do see this morning that it has 10 to 20 contracts on bid/asked. I will look into this further, especially whether there are good bid/asked spreads at night.
