    trading data out of normal trading hours in TWS

    In TWS, there is no trading data out of the normal trading period for futures like ES, NQ, YM, though there is data in the booktrader and I can trade them. How can I view the after market data for those futures? Any help?

    anyone here scalping ZN & ZB?

    I don't know if my trade style could be called ''scalping". Usually I hold several minutes for 5-15 ticks profits. Does it count? I started trading ES, every tick is 0.25 and worth $12.5. I use Interactive Brokers whose commission is $2.01. So I will gain 12.5-2*2.01=$8.48 if I grasp 1 tick.
