Message to IB: Commodity TRAKRS

[wwx]

Any possibility of IB offering Commodity TRAKRS (and other TRAKRS) futures trading?

Excerpt:
...when purchased by non-institutional investors, they are the first futures contracts that can be held in securities accounts.

Last time I checked, these are way too expensive to trade. The multiplier is 1 and they're priced in the $25 range, so a 1% move is worth only $0.25 per contract. Compare this to ES, where a 1% move is >$600 per contract, YI (mini silver) at >$1200 per contract, etc.
