    Pit only commodities

    IB doesn't offer it at the moment, although you are correct that you may be able to see prices under the symnols ZS, ZC, etc. If it goes fully electronic, or if the electronic hours are extended to coincide with the pit hours then we would most likely offer it.

    Trading the Kospi

    Thanks for that. Quite useful. The whole issue of switching the KOSPI from KSE to KOFEX has become very political, so I'm not sure how long the wrangling is going to take. I'm not sure if you'd be eligible to get the standing proxy and trade through a Korean brokerage (?)

    X_Trader $3.30 Total Round Turn

    bbmat, You clearly have not done your homework when researching IB. IB started life as a pure institutional broker. Next time call the trading desks before claiming you know what software and back-end they use.
