It seems that IB doesn't offer any of the ethanol contracts listed on the CME. You can add a market data line in TWS for ET and AC but you can't get data. Anyone know if they will offer any of these contracts?
I don't think there's any volume in ethanol -- maybe that's why you don't see quotes? Check the CME page: http://www.cme.com/trading/dta/del/...uctFoiType=FUT&ProductVenue=G&ProductType=eng
I think you want CBOT. http://www.cbot.com/cbot/pub/page/0,3181,1754,00.html You still need an appointment to trade it.
I think you should trade sugar then becouse alot of ethonol can be obtained from sugar and corn as well as other resources but sugar does give you the most ethonol for your buck. Isn't it strange that the cars might be running on 10% sugar or is it me?
