crude futs options on IB

[Janed]

Sorry that was not clear. As the Devil well knows, there's a cost to signing a contract. The menu item next to the quote data is the one for trading permissions.

Quote from eugenie98:

I inquired as soon as they became available a few weeks ago, IB says they are waiting to see the volume traded on GLOBEX before deciding whether to include the options in TWS

Your only option right now are options on the crude ETF and natty ETF

Are you referring to the USO ETF listed on the AMEX?

Thanks,
Neo

 

[eugenie98]

yes

Anyone have an update from IB when/if they will add the electronic crude oil options to their TWS platform? These options are traded on the CME/Globex.

Thanks.

We definitely will offer these options but we have a problem with current valuation model and it takes some time to correct it.

 

[syd697]

Ok, thanks for the update. Hope it's sooner than later. Any ballpark idea how long it could take?

 

[ids]

Sorry, I do not have ETA now.

Good to know nymex options are coming. Thanks for the update, ids...

I'm assuming we will have the metals too?

Any chance we will be able to trade options on the big-daddy SPZ7 contract anytime soon? Liquidity on the ES is not so good.
