Good online broker to trade lumber options?

  1. Hello,

    I am looking for a good online broker that I can trade vehicles like lumber options. I cannot tell if IB allows this, as info is very vague all around. Thanks for any info!
     
  2. Lumber is thin as it is...lumber options, well, they are SUPER thin.
    Just don't place market orders!
     
  3. Yes, that I do know. It is very THIN. Do you know of any online brokers? Thanks.
     
  4. Unless you have been threatned imprisonment and sharing a cell with a 7ft 300 pound guy call Jack, l would stay clear of Lumber. l admit its sometimes a nice mover (daily charts) its liquidity is not really worth it . Same as things like pork bellies or Sugar #14 contract, its best staying clear of them...

    I ave used xpresstrade for lumber. Also express trade has good research as well. IB I dont think does lumber they only do electronic markets I think.
     
  7. XPRESSTRADE is the way to go.
