    I traded futures in my IB IRA account this afternoon March 06 (sell and buy). I'll see if I can still trade futures in my IB IRA account on Monday. I have no account messages or emails from IB about this. IB has become tone deaf to customers.

    High price and spread

    High for WTI is 51.18 at 7:30 AM EST. Highs and lows are based on trade prices, not bid or ask prices. 51.16 is only 2 cents off the high of the day. If you can pick highs and lows like that every day you can make a lot of money.

    What time frame are you using - milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours? Please provide data that shows your alleged lack of correlation between DJIA and YM. As has been stated arbitrage keeps DJIA and YM in line during RTH just as SPX and ES are kept in line.
