And now, for your chance to win a full days trading with Erin Burnett, while sitting on her lap, name that movie ! And if your not to busy, could someone confirm whether or not option day orders in the SPX and AA are officially closed out at 4pm or 4:15pm
Indexes trade until 4:15, therefore index-based option orders do too. And options based on ETFs that are based on indexes trade until 4:15. Exception is conditional orders (sell x option if y index/etf goes to z price, for instance). These expire at 4PM.
............. Hopefully, you're not resting on a "bulge". I hear that! However, if any traders on ET are into that, I'm pretty sure Kramer's set is only one or two doors down. I had a contestant who won this very prize last year. He told me it wasn't worth it. I believe he said ....."Getting Kramer to sit still for two seconds was a nightmare."
