Can someone explain to me....

Why the markets were open today for less than an hour on a saturday? and why the ES had candles print?

 

Wsn't a big deal...i had asked them to open up temporarily as I had a position i wanted to get closed before sunday evening. Was over pretty quickly...

 

oh that makes sense. Should have known, an eter needed the world to stop for them....of course

 

really though, is there a valid reason for this?

 

I have heard it's just demo/test data from CME that should be omitted, some providers don't though. Call the exchange yourself and verify if it bothers you.
