Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] Question about the S & P Future

["The Boy" <theboy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Jay,
 
Thank you for your answer.
I am subscribed to the service Equis offers for Metastock 
End-Of-Day, this service is called Datalink I think.
Do you have by chance any website who I can find the 
exact data?
 
Thank you again for your help.
 
Nice greetings from Germany :-)
 
Best regards,
 
Thorsten

  Question about the S & P Future
  <FONT lang=0 face=Arial size=2 
  FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Hi Thorsten:The trading hours for the full S&P 
  500 for the open-out-cry are:"8:30 a.m.-3:15 p.m." For Globex 
  (electronic) it is:"Mon/Thurs 3:45 p.m.-8:15 a.m. Sun and Hol 5:30 
  p.m.-8:15 a.m." So there is a break between the electronic and 
  open-out-cry sessions.  The "open" is the begining of the open-out-cry 
  session.   The close depends on which session(s) you enter for your 
  data provider.  All of them that I'm aware of give you a choice of "day 
  session only" (open-out-cry), or total trades which include the electronic 
  session(s) (some futures have multiple electronic sessions each day).  
  So, if you choose "day session only" then your close will be the close of the 
  open-out-cry session.  If you choose total trades it will include the 
  open-out-cry session through the end of the 8:15 a.m. session even though that 
  session is part of the following day.  Confused?  If you choose the 
  e-mini, then you will get electronic only open and close for the full 
  session(s).  Look through the list of codes that your data provider gives 
  you.  At least that's the way that Reuters and CSI do 
  it.JayIn a message dated 5/12/2003 1:10:29 AM Pacific Daylight
