Reading between the lines of escourt2000, I really wish people would have the courtesy to sign their posts, is that not many will use TF, it will be thinly traded and harder to get a good price. ES might be a better vehicle anyway due to the volume. When ER2 volume was 3.44K this morning TF was 1.88K and ES was 458.3K, huge volume difference. The spread on ES was 0.25 to ER2s and TF was 0.1 but the contract is 1200 vs 710 so I would expect a wider spread. TF may pick up after ER2 expires.
The correct IB symbol on AB is TRZ8-NYBOT-FUT as others have confirmed. You have to subscribe to the NYBOT exchange in Account Management, fee $1/month, to get the symbol on TWS and the data into AB. ICE may own it but IB or someone is still using NYBOT. The larger TF volume over the last few days may be due to people moving to TF from ER2. I will watch it to see of people start using it more or as much as ER2.
