Why is IB sending me "expired options" on my Demo Account?

    I have no real money position at IB. I am transferring a smaller portion (30K) of my IRA to trade futures and options. But the position they are emailing is a paper trade! Why bother? I get so much garbage in my two email accounts. Do I need more?

    They are trying to make those sim trades more realistic! :D

    I just subscribed to the data bundles? In this instantaneous or next day? I will check periodically!

    It must be a parameter in your account, cause I'm not receiving any position from them (real or paper).
