Thank You Dogfish.

Can you tell me which of these 5 markets can an US citizen trade on the exchanges you mentioned ?

Also I am doing back testing using Volume Charts & tick charts so shouldn't I incluse both Pre & Post trading hours to avoid gaps at the open ?

THanks

you can trade all of them. take a look at Interactive brokers (or others), they offer them all

They just stop trading for something like 10 hours, so of course there will be gaps at times ... nothing you can do about that ...
in fact there are pre and post hours trading cause the futures markets are open earlier and longer than the underlying markets just not 24 hours.
