I agree to some degree. I was actually trying to help someone who was having a data issue. However, having brought the subject up, I must say that trading the E-mini, often there is a preopen move that has enough liquidity to be a really good trade. I find that often moves based on the release of an economic number (often at 8:30AM) can be a substantial trade. It is not unusual to have a 10-12 point move in the futures "pre market". These are typically not "gap" moves, but rather moves that take 10-15 minutes to develop. Obviously, the same is not true in most stocks which trade very thinly in premarket.

>The pre/post market is fiction until there is full participation by everyone.

There is truth to that statement.

>There you find the biggest manipulations occurring in the market.

And no question about that one as well.

>I "see" all I want to see.

Then I must assume you are not a serious daytrader as the pre-market gaps are the most important information you will have all day.
