Trading hours run from 6 PM EST to 5 PM EST the following day. For instance, the E-Mini S&P 500 Futures (ES) market opens at 6 PM EST on Sunday and the daily candle closes at 5 PM EST on Monday. Markets are closed from Friday 5 PM EST until Sunday 6 PM EST.

You can start trading at 6 PM EST to begin a new trading day, but all trades must be closed by 4:59 PM EST each day. If you forget to close your trades, our system will automatically do it for you. However, we recommend closing them manually to stay aware of your P&L (Profit and Loss) in real-time.
