brown, you trade around news time then? Do you trade or hold it overnight?
tor - I think you have to watch the EC before, during and after news if you want to catch some moves early. I usually start watching it around 8am EST when there is 8:30am econ releases. And of course you always see setups in hindsight at 3am or so when other world markets are moving.

I do not hold any futures contract - EC or not - overnight. It would not be surprising to see a fairly large gap on the EC if you walk away at 4:15pm and return at 8am the next morning. The contract is moving all night, but just looking at those timeframes can show a substantial 'gap'.
