Markets may temporarily halt until price limits can be expanded,\u00a0they may\u00a0remain in a limit condition or\u00a0they may\u00a0stop trading for the day, based on regulatory rules.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This is for Stock Index futures but keep in mind MANY other markets are experiencing LARGE swings and moves.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Overnight limits (5:00 P.M. \u2013 8:30 A.M., Central Time): the futures contract is limited to a 5% price move up or a 5% price move down, based on the futures contract\u2019s prior day\u2019s settlement price (3:15 P.M., Central Time).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This applies to the main stock index futures contracts available, such as the\u00a0ES, MES, NQ,\u00a0etc.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmegroup.com\/trading\/equity-index\/faq-sp-500-price-limits.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Detailed information here.<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>What is so dangerous you may ask?<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>If you are long an ES during the night session and the market is limit down (5%) you can NOT get out. There is a chance that when the market opens up at 8:30 AM CDT that the market will then go down the 7% limit with out you being able to exit.
