What's fair about the stock market really? Ken Griffin makes $10 mil 365 days a year, literally. Everyone else I know loses most of their money unless they are insiders, brokers or ace traders. Just saying. .
I've also thought the same way, totally unfair that some brokerages have the advantage of starting earlier than others. Know that a lot of things are unfair in the stock markets, but at least the level playing field for start times should be the same for all. Also find it very odd that the brokerages that start at 4am aren't even the top brokers. Why the top brokerages can't start at 4am if the mediocre ones can, is what beats me!
