ES Journal - 2023/2024

ES on CQG is currently at 4169.5 No, 4168.5. No, 4168.0. See the problem? Markets move too fast to give you an answer. I would bet CQG is more accurate of the two however.

No, the index number is the same.

I am confused because the net change and net change % columes are different.

The screen is from MultiCharts watchlist and TS.

Check the "starting point" or "open" and see what time that is. Is it just the difference of the sessions initial price?

Two different instruments.

Well, ES and MES don't exactly move in synch tick by tick

Damn, that Overnight dude beat me by a tick

Two different instruments.

I am comparing EPM23 and ESM23, they are the same.

 

[Overnight]

I am comparing EPM23 and ESM23, they are the same.

One says MES. Is ES the same as EP? If so, they are different instruments.

Same instrument, mEP is with CQG, ES is with TS.

Ignore MES for now.

Everything is system default, I trade from the DOM, watchlist is for reference, but the two are the same before, pretty sure.

Well, if they are the same instrument on your end as you understand it, then you are FUBAR, because there is nearly a 500,000 contract volume difference between them.

that’s why I asked, we all made money based on the data feeds.

I realized the difference after I booked 12 points profit, didn’t feel right when I was peeking at CNBC, it is green on TV and red on multicharts.

Oh, I see what you mean. The upper ES shows a change of 40 points, the lower EP/ES shows a change of 15 points. Thought you were comparing the two lower numbers.

The lower one is comparing it to the "prev" column, the upper one? Don't know where it is comparing that 40 point change to.
