2 questions to Matthew

Hi Matthew,

With the new requirement that US traders at IB need to open a separate IB account, exclusively for futures, I cannot subscribe to some attractive systems because they trade besides futures also stocks and options.

Question #1: Is there a way around it without causing extra cost to the subscriber?

Question #2: Did C2 request that requirement for whatever reason or maybe to coax stock traders to use the C2Broker rather than IB? Do you know why IB all of a sudden needed that set up since they pride themselves and constantly stress the advantage of their platform where all instruments can be traded in one account? And why does it apply only to US traders?

Thanks,

Karl
