Sorry to have caused you so much trouble. I was already writing the other part of the question and I did not know what time zone the EUREX exchange was on so I didn't think it would be too difficult for someone to add that information into their answer.
DOH!!! I'm really sorry about that. You are right, 3AM is the start. Sorry if I confused people. I never trade that early in the morning, so I didn't pay close enough attention to the time. I only trade the eurostoxx50 during the US preopen from about 8:30AM on so is didn't occur to me that I was wrong.
