Below occurs fairly often -- I submit an order that overrides the currently-posted max bid or min ask, or there is no posted bid or ask prior to my order submit, yet the real-time order line does not report my price, and sometimes does not report the size. In the below example for a GFI put...

Can anyone suggest an explanation for the MNQ contract having such a huge jump in the last second of today's session ? The close miraculously matched the open, making a huge reversal bar. Curiously no volume jump accompanied. I don't usually trade in the post-cash final Globex hour, is this...
