Pre Market data

[DSchenk]

Hi,

I'm using ProRealTime with my IG Spreadbetting account and am wondering if there is any chance to access Pre Market data for UK shares?

e.g. can I run a screener showing me the biggest gappers before the market actually opens?

Hi @DSchenk this is not possible in PRT unfortunately.

Cheers,

Thanks WillA

Are there any other tools or websites available which show pre-market data?

I tried to find an answer on the internet today, but it seems like nobody is providing pre-market data for the London Stock Exchange. Is this maybe not supported at all as it is common in the US stock markets?

Does anybody know if you sign-up in IG for the Level 2 data access if you get pre-market data?

(Level 2 access: provides a live price feed and extensive market depth, where applicable)

 

How do people trade gap strategies in the UK?

I know you can put your orders in pre market so you should be able to see indicative bid/offers etc. That's from 7.50 > 8am. is that what you're referring to?

Maybe better to post in the strategy section. You will prob get more/better replies.

Hi Cryptotrader,

so in the USA the brokers seem to show data during the night all the way until the market re-opens again. So you already know where the stock will open before it actually opens. Where IG stops showing any data and starts again the next morning at 8am and all you see is a big gap, but no information about per market highs and lows, etc

Is this a thing only in the US or also possible at the LSE? How do you identify an overnight gapper before the market opens in the UK?

Hi @DSchenk,  the NYSE and Nasdaq have an extended hours quote service but I don't think LSE do.

You can find them on their respective web sites and that is where brokers and commentators are getting their data from. I think the nas has pre-market and extended hours data while nyse just has extended hours data.

Yahoo Finance also lists recent out of hours trades and price movements so might be worth checking there?

UK pre market?  No such thing right..  But for U.S pre market prices open the old share trading platform.  Access the ticker required and it will show the actual moving pre-market price up until open.  The mobile app used to do this for US stocks but for some reason it does not show anymore in the last few days since an update.
