    How to offset a MOC order after 15:45 ET ?

    Let's say I have a Buy MOC order in NYSE which I forgot to cancel before 15:45 ET and I don't want to hold a position overnight. I guess the only option is to Short at 15:59 and then wait for the Buy MOC to be executed ?

    Password managers?

    Is it ? I can understand that an hacker will have an easy job hacking my PC/mobile/tablet when compared with a password manager, BUT a password manager will, no doubt, suffer many more (and better quality) attempts from hackers. I guess that I'm not under constant attack but no doubt that a...

    Any good strategy if I think ES will have a range of X pts

    Thanks for all the responses. Just to clarify, let's say ES opening is 2160 and I think total weekly range will be 40 points or more. It could be a ton of combinations, provided that range is >= 40 pts If range is exactly 40 points it could be 2160 - 2200 2120 - 2160 or any other combination...

    Why are prices of ESTX50 ATM options so different ?

    These options are based on the settlement of the cash. I guess it's equivalent to the SPX options as you say. This is the full picture right now for index, futures and options (the closest possible to ATM). It's a huge difference, even looking at futures contract.

    Why are prices of ESTX50 ATM options so different ?

    That also confuses me because these options are index options and not futures options. http://www.eurexchange.com/exchange-en/products/idx/stx/blc/EURO-STOXX-50--Index-Options/19066 Because of that I don't see why they are not ATM

    Why are prices of ESTX50 ATM options so different ?

    Stox50 (ESTX50) is right now at 2861. Looking at ATM options for Jun 2018, we see (bid-ask): Call 2850 -> 262-267.5 Put 2850 -> 514.2-522.8 Why such a difference ? Knowing that interest rates are (still) low, is that all on dividends ?
