All trades should be closed by 4:59 PM ET. For agricultural markets, trades need to be closed earlier. Check the specific market details for early closures.
Some markets also wrap up their day before 5:00 PM ET, and certain markets may close early on holidays. Be sure to review the holiday calendar for up-to-date information.
Trading reopens at 6:00 PM ET, so you can start placing trades again after the brief break.
