Re: Globex S&P

For those of you who nighttrade the S&P have you ever thought what the night
session might be like without a day S&P contract?    How do you feel when
during the day 120-130% of your daily trading range just disappears?

Can anyone justify a 2500 point move on volume of greater than 300
contracts -?
wouldn't the night session be more transparent without the day session?

Wouldn't you feel more willing to hold positions o/day?

How can the CME justify the futures on the S&P being open when the cash is
open?  Currencies, interest rates no but equities yes?

I believe that the Globex session for the S&P puts the private trader at a
distinct advantage - what do you think?

(apologies to those who only trade the large gaps!)
