newbbee, Who would you go to as the "original source" for this question? Don
Yes I remember that GOOG debacle, but AH trading is not the basis for the closing price. I think the closing price is the last trade of the normal...
When is the QQQQ closing price effective, 4pm or 4:15 today? Pin risk high today. Don
One way to minimize adjustments is to place trades with low risk/reward ratios. For example a high R/R play might be selling an OTM NP. If the...
