hey will IB get into the fray and list the new ICE crude contracts or will they side with Nymex, and try not to ruffle any feathers and stay with nymex?
The chances of any exchange taking significant volume from another is extremely low. Last time it happened was the Bund from Liffe to Eurex.
I would like to see options on the electronic contracts. If this gets us closer to that becoming reality, I'm all for it.
Is anyone from IB reading this thread? Perhaps you could comment on the availability of these contracts on your platform?
ICE did not open trading of WTI futures yet. The release date is February 3. IB will try to offer these futures at the first day of trading. ICE options went trough a long discussion on ET some time ago. IB does not offer options because of not existing liquidity.
According to this page: http://tinyurl.com/8x9mx brent options ARE available for trading... Anyone tried them? Or is it just an error on the website?
