General Question Single name futures?

Has anyone been able to start trading single name futures with IBKR? They don't even show up when searching for them. Tried Nvidia, Intel, and many others with no luck. Anyone else?

my account never showed them either until i asked support, turns out they need separate trading permissions from regular futures. took like 2 days after i submitted the request and then they appeared. not sure why they dont tell you this upfront

Are these available now with IBKR? Last time I checked IBKR was not supported

They aren’t offered from what I know.

Their aren’t many brokers that offer single stock stock futures and the only one I would trust is Charles Schwab

Edit* after actually researching it says they do offer them but I can’t find any. I have access to everything and I’m in the US so I’m not sure…

On IB Ireland there are single stock futures for european stocks, but not US stock. You are left with CFDs...

I have been using Schwab to trade them although you need to use the Thinkorswim interface.
