Apparently I'm having a "blond" day since I'm stuck at this idiotic question.
When looking at the overnight session, are you measuring the performance between today's last price against yesterday's 24h close or against the RTH close?
If I become half a percent smarter each year, I'll be a genius by the time I die
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I generally look at the overnight low/high vs prior lows/highs (whenever they may have been created), and then look at the cash open vs cash close of prior session.
"Change" is always measured from the previous day's settlement (ala midpoint of SP rounded to ES tick from 4:14:30 to 4:15:00 ET). But practically speaking, use whatever measurement you think will provide you with the most insight. There is no right or wrong here.
As Mike mentioned, the cash (4pm ET) close is an important number, as often the cash close and settlement differ substantially. If I had to pick one to watch, it would be the cash close.
