Very nice kassai. I would add one thing. A lot of activity happens when the U.S. stock market is open for regular hours. More exactly, when the S&P both open out cry and the electronic mini are open. The mini trades 24 hours a day, but volume is low as most U.S. emini traders trade only during the Day session. Again, this falls in to the 9 est am to 5 est pm timeframe Kassai spoke of. So sometimes when people refer to normal market hours, they are refering to normal (equity/equity futures) hours. Plus, most banks are open during the above time.
