I believe today will be not possible open new position in old contract somewhere after 15.15? With open position I have very bad experience from past in NQ that I lost stopped nearly 3 full handles during regular hours /and it was ONE contract/
Sep expires Friday at 9:30 EDT. "How do the quarterly E-mini futures settle and when is the last time to trade before expiration? a3 E-mini quarterly contracts expire at the same time and to the same price as their larger counterpart contracts. For quarterly futures contracts, trading can occur up to 8:30 a.m., Chicago time, on the third Friday of the month."
Not out of the realm of possibility, ES 1229-1232 has some magnetic market profile charateristics. But why would you concern yourself with that right now?
That one from 3/12 2002 at 81 SPY? This is the closest unfilled down gap as far I see. Thats not very probably for today. Ah you mean that gap up? It is not forbidden go up during past days?
