Will IB ever offer pit access for futures? I thought they were going to if they got

  1. my take is IB is pushing for all electronic markets, pip trading will die eventually IMO.

  3. It'll be like that old Saturday Night Live commercial for the bank that makes change. How do they make money doing it? Volume!!! :p

    I assume IB would charge enough to make money. For example tradestation is similar to IB's commissions for electronic futures but for pit trading it's $6.95. IB would most likely be similar. But unlike tradestation you could auto-trade via the IB API.
