Re: Last price, closing price and settlement price

It sure sounds like the post settlement session trade can occur (the
"exception" noted below) outside the closing range (and hence the daily
range as well), giving rise to an anomalous situation where a data vendor's
daily bar has a settlement price either outside the daily high or low.  

This jives with my squawk box experience on high close or low close days.
