How active are etfs pre market? Are the markets deep? I'm looking at smaller etfs than the qqq and spy. Can someone put on 5-10k without real slippage?
With the exception of QQQ, SPY, and a couple others, the spread will be wide. However, the closer you get to the 09:30 open, the narrower the spreads become.
Interesting thanks. If you put in orders mid market do you believe you would get filled pretty quick or is there just no interest premarket? 7-8 cst.
If by "mid market" you mean halfway between the bid and ask, then there is a good chance. But you have to be much more careful in the premarket than during Regular Trading Hours. In RTH, you are somewhat protected by the narrower bid/ask spread, and that most of the news has been factored in. In premarket, unless you are following all the company news, earnings announcements, upgrades/downgrades, price changes in oil & commodities, interest rates, etc. you could get badly burned when the regular market opens.
Got it. Thanks. I trade a system in futures where I take some of the trades pre market. I was curious how transferable it would be.
Can someone provide a short list with legit brokers with low fees and commissions on trading that are licensed in Europe?
