Can US residents trade K200 with IB? Futures and Options? I get a subscription error when attempting to quote via IB, but no option to sub on the subscription page.

My understanding is that US residents are not allowed to (unless they have a LOT of money). Def from IB has posted on this several times.

They are not yet CFTC approved for US residents but they are seeking approval but there is probably no telling how long it may take.

Still pending on just the futures, bottom of page. Lets go CFTC, lets get this thing moving along!
