It's the exchange minimums. Cross reference the CME site.

Mirus and Velocity have same ON as well.

Wonder what time do they consider as a day-trading session? Is GLOBEX session included?

yes. here's the Trading Hours page: http://www.ampfutures.com/trading_hours.html

Globex currencies stop trading at 5pm EST and re-open at 6pm EST

BUT

a day trade HAS to be closed 10 ? minutes before the Globex close if there's not
enough margin to hold the trade ON otherwise AMP will close the trade and charge
a fee of $25 for closing the trade + the trade's commission

Thanks, so they consider all GLOBEX session as a daytrade now (used to be different a few years ago if I remember right). That's good news.
