Effective after the close of trading on Friday, January 11th, E-cbot Agricultural and Equity products (both futures and options) will no longer trade on the E-cbot platform as these products will migrate to the Globex trading platform.
After the close on Friday, Jan. 11th all remaining GTC and GTD orders will be removed from the E-cbot platform. You will need to re-enter your GTCs/GTDs using the same symbol, but using GBX (Globex) as the Exchange. Globex will provide an extended pre-opening session on Friday, Jan. 11th from 2:30pm to 4:30pm to allow everyone to re-enter their GTCs.
With the migration of these E-cbot products to the Globex platform also comes a change in trading hours. As of Sunday January 13th, the Grains will begin trading at 6pm CDT instead of the normal 6:30pm opening. The $5 and $10 Dow will begin trading at 5:00pm on Sundays with a 3:30pm opening Monday thru Thursday. The $5 Dow will trade the same hourly sequence as the E-mini S&P.
The move from the E-cbot platform to the Globex platform has great benefits as the Globex trading platform is regarded as one of the most efficient and stable platforms in the financial industry.
(all times Central Time)
3:15 p.m. — Daily close
6:00 p.m. — New Agricultural Overnight trading open time.
