Dumb IB question

Is there any way to trade gold contracts using Interactive brokers?

 

yes

 

Thanks for the info

 

Try symbol "YG".

 

I was assuming that you werent already with IB. Its a simple matter to go to their web site and look up all the contracts they handle.

 

Sorry,I thought I had looked but I missed the gold.Anyone want to comment on the difference between trading YG and ZG.Also I see this is the NY exchange so there are probably more dirty tricks compared with the London exchange,Anyone want to comment?

 

YG = 33 oz , ZG = 100 oz in size

you can trade gold with london exhange , or do you mean on the "fix " ?

- the difference between trading YG and ZG.Also I see this is the NY exchange so there are probably more dirty tricks compared with the London exchange,Anyone want to comment?

 

You say you can trade gold on the London exchange using IB?
