Trading in Europe from Eastern Time

General
1

Does anyone trade in Europe from Eastern Time? If i wake up at 7am Eastern Time, I’ve already missed most of the day in Europe (I think about 4 hours are missed). And I usually submit VWAP or TWAP orders that execute during the session.

I was thinking of maybe submitting the trades the night before, but that depends on when the European database updates… any know if that would be possible? Or does the European database update at the same time as the US database?

This is the server update schedule.

  • Early runs Sun–Fri, starting around 10:00 PM and completing around 11:00 PM CST/CDT (6:00 AM CET/CEST).
  • Monday runs once per week, starting at 3:30 AM and completing around 4:30 AM CST/CDT (11:30 AM CET/CEST). Includes final weekend data.

Current status can be checked at: https://www.portfolio123.com/server_status.jsp

We don't differentiate between US and European data updates.

Wait so the late update happens after Europe opens???

Yes. That's why there's an Early update.

But on Mondays you can’t get the data before the European market opens?

I fixed a typo in my original reply. Early updates are available prior to European markets opening. Final data is not available prior to European markets opening.

Any chance the Europe update could be done earlier so I could send the orders the night before?
