Natural Gas Options

Using TWS, why does my platform show NG options trading after 2:30PM Eastern Standard?

 

Globex doesn't close when the floor closes. CME's continued slaughter of floor liquidity.

 

You want some Natural Gas? Eat a dozen dried apricots and you will produce a lot of natural gas.

2:30 p.m. est is for open outcry but globex is 24 hrs except for a 45 min maintenance period - does this explain it?
