3 Apr Freezing US session US index futures - seems like close wedge formation. will it break out?

there are pros and cons with IB. Margin requirement is really high. perhaps there are lots of big boys using IB. I use IB mainly to trade hangseng as I can enter STOP order. If I use another broker, I can't enter STOP order due to regulations or whatever Do have multiple brokers
