IB not going to give NYBOT access...!?

Gotta love it... people ripping into IB all the time. "Cmon IB, add this.. do that.. it's so easy!!!!!!!!". How many businesses have you bitching fools run yourself?

The NYBOT products on ICE are on the queue. I don't think we will offer the pit traded contracts though. Sorry, I don't have an ETA.

Steve that satisfies me -- so why are your reps saying management decided not to offer it? Queued is fine.....never is bad. I can understand not offering the pits....why spend money offering them when they're going away anyway?

Does pimping count? Do I count each honey as a separate business entity?

I'm not sure when you asked.... maybe it was true when you asked.... things change.

(and it could also be true again, if something insurmountable came up..)

Will let you know when I know more.

I was told last week it was scheduled for the end of Feb. Then yesterday that it was cancelled.....I cried myself to sleep

Yesterday I had an idea.

I do not want to speak about this in public, but I think IB has indeed a good reason not to offer it.

If this is the point (what I think), I say it's perfectly ok when it's not offered.

Please tell us your idea. At least pm me.

I should add I'm looking into other brokers such as openecry. Not sure if they have NYBOT softs on ICE, but if they do I'll move some of my money over there. Shame on IB for this fiasco.....can it really be that difficult to add new contracts on an exchange you already have access to? I can certainly understand not offering NYBOT pits, but new contracts on an exchange should be a pretty simple setup and would basically give IB customers access to everything traded in the US (other than the dollar index, but I assume they'll put that on ICE eventually)

I verified that openecry has the electronic NYBOT softs on ICE and the symbols are : Sugar #11 (SB-MK7), Coffee (KC-MK7), Cocoa (CC-MK7), Cotton (CT-MK7) and Orange Juice (OJ-MH7).

any further news on ICE ?

Why can IB not offer what openecry offers? Would suck to apply with another broker just for softs. Applications are a waste of time in my book.
