Today closed + 1,25 points net on ES futures. The 8th of June was + 0,25 net. The 8th of May 2018 was 0,00 net. So, to answer your question: Yes. Not so common, though.
Probably just a niggle with differences in our data feeds, but here's what I get on the full ES session on my end at the ETH close...
Now look at that... I use 09:30 - 16:00 for my data as to my knowledge that's when the cash index closes. But I know some use 09:30 - 16:15, too. Might explain it.
Today was a range bound consolidation day and a Monday. From the looks of it as of now - tomorrow could be another one.
Well, here's what I meant by the SP being darn flat... As for my ES figures, I believe I have my ES template set to 24/7, and NT7 uses some numbers from ETH open to ETH close. So 23 hours. Although looking at the chart more deeply, since the "daily" highs and lows are based from midnight ET, the 4681 level matched up with that time. *shrugs* I've given up on the minutia of NT7's calculations. It annoys me.
do you have any thoughts about the BTC etf that’s going to trade futures instead of the cash? Probably best discussed in a crypto forum, but I’m curious how that is going to work, when futures volume is so low. And margin is so ridiculous to trade it.
There's already one out there. BITO is the symbol I believe. I don't follow the ETF space, but I have heard it is doing ok. VanEck got the thumbs-down on the spot, but it seems they are launching their own ETF on BTC futures.
