HitBtc is trading B2X:
https://hitbtc.com/exchange/B2X-to-BTC I don't understand: about 1 week ago , the fork was cancelled or postponed, then I saw that it would happen on 16 or 17th November.
Now on Bittrex I see as an update 17th Nov. that "The Segwit2x hard fork was called off and did not result in a chain split."
https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002603211-Statement-on-Bitcoin-Segwit2x-hard-forkSo, how come that HitBtc is trading the B2X and that I was able to buy it today and how come Bittrex said that it was cancelled ?
I don't understand: will B2X stay and continue to be traded as any other cryptocurrency like for example the bitcoin gold or bitcoin cash and is it worth it to buy it now ...or why is it traded then?

What HitBtc is offering is B2X future tokens. There is still a possibility that the fork may happen if
Jeff Garzik manage to fix the bug in the code that cause btc1 nodes to freeze at block 494782. But eventually the fork will die out, as he is the only developer that I know of that still maintain the repository, and without other developers to review his codes, no way he his going to fix all the bugs.
If you take a look
here, you can see there are 127 btc1 nodes right now, those are nodes that want to fork.
