    Crack Spreads on IB?

    Can I trade exchange listed Nymex crack spreads on IB? If I create them using the combo trader it tells me that execution is not guaranteed, so I assume that means it's a software generated spread rather than an exchange one.

    DNTP's at Eurex?

    I'm looking for some info on delta neutral trading products on Eurex, as the eurexchange site appears to be a bit lacking. Any online links would be most appreciated. When placing orders, does the trader get to specify the volatility level at which he'd like to place the trade, or the option...
