IB: Bitcoin Futures Trading Permissions?

M

Mitch83

Hi,

when I open the order ticket for symbol GXBT, it says I need trading permissions for "US Cryptocurrency Futures".
But I can't find any "US Cryptocurrency Futures" in Account management -> Settings -> Trading permissions.

Anyone else with this problem? IB's CS obviously is out of reach at Sunday.
Thanks.

Edit: Here https://ibkr.info/article/3049 it also says Settings -> Trading Permissions -> US Crypto Futures, which doesn't show. I'm confused.

I just got off the phone with CS. The crypto functionality is not available yet
Doubtful it will be ready for the opening tonight.
 
I entered "GXBT" in TWS, then clicked on the ask (which is blank), an order screen comes up, then I click on Limit Price and it shows prices 12640 to 12760. Nothing about permissions came up. This is Universal account I use for my IRA and I have traded everything in it, stocks, futures, options, forex.

Yes, same here, but when I click "preview", "transmit" or "accept" the message of "additional trading permissions" pops up.

So I'm not alone, no IB customer can get trading permissions for Bitcoin Futures yet?
