I cant find what can be closing at 14:15 CT which related to energy somehow. futures, options, spot? anything?
the event that i am witnessing is happening every day 2 hrs before close. i dont think its related to globex close anyhow.
What event are you witnessing? The stock market usually dies for a while for lunch & then comes back alive from 13:30 CT until close, but I'm not sure what else is happening around that time.
1) ?......"It" appears to have happened again today, Thursday. :eek: 2) I would guess it's something related to the cash market, the USO ETF, the "Goldman Roll", an algo deliberately "painting the tape" or a random price level is hit where there is an accumulation of stop-orders at precisely 2:15pm CST. 2) I'll be anxiously awaiting that time tomorrow.
the big money trades the open and the close,830 to 10 30 they initiate and 2 15 central to 3 pm is where they adjust there risk and hedge things off
