I have never held through rollover. May never, but just in case...

What needs to happen on rollover if you are holding a current contract ES? Do you sell the currentt or lose the whole contract?

Thanks.
 
Just buy the cash close and sell the cash open, or around 2:30-3:30am cst. Works 78% of the time. Let the suckers fight for crumbs during the US session.

You can trade the "old" contract until 09:30 EST on the 3rd Friday of the expiration month... volume gradually declines from rollover until that time.

Really? My platform must be bunk because if I buy at 3pm cst and sell at 8:30am cst for the past year it has only turned 52% profitable with about a $1400 gain on ES. ?

What platform are you using for your calculations?

I fight for every last crumb I can get during the day

:p
