Investors and traders regularly monitor premarket movers to learn more about the strength and direction of the market. To trade premarket, traders require alternative trading systems (ATS) or electronic communication networks (ECNs). Because of the low volume and liquidity of pre-market movements, bid-ask spreads are sometimes wide. Retail brokers typically provide stock pre-market movers, but there are limitations on the kinds of orders they may take.
