Anybody trading micro e-mini on IB? Any issues?

Yes and it's waived if you generate at least $30 commissions per month.

You also need US Equity and Options Add-On Streaming Bundle for streaming quotes ($4.50/month).

I don't remember what I ended up getting, and it is a convoluted path through a deep dark cyber forest to get to it in the member portal but I will look it up later. I took one thing, I think it was $1.50/month and I seem to have live data now. It no longer says delayed, and it is showing crazy activity. I am going to just watch it for a few days and get used to the action before I buy a contract. Shorting later on, maybe, not yet. My first futures adventures will all be on the long side, just to keep things simple.

Okay here is a screenshot of what I got, it seems to work, and the bottom line is pretty cheap.

And yeah I think I got FOREX privs but I just haven't been messing with that. These micro futures contracts are a lot closer to what I have been doing all along, and still get me out from under the PDT thumb so I can maybe finish trading up to over $25k. Again.
