ICE soft settlements

Hello,

I receive piece of exchange info on my platform like "Please be advised that cocoa settlements have been posted".

What settlement are they talking about? It seems daily settlement is defined by the last 2 minutes before the close but those info are popping up something like 1hour before... What are these settlements?

I know "Trade At Settlement" orders are available on ICE? Do some of you use it? With which platform?

Thanks.
 
are you getting these each day?

Also, I don't think cocoa settles out in last 2 minutes. Not sure of what time frame the "settlement" comes from, but I'm pretty sure its not the last 2 minutes. I think that is true of all the softs, and I know that it is not the case with MGEX wheat.
 
You talking about on Webice?

I got one for cotton @ 14:33:22 , cotton closes at 14:30

Cocoa one came across at 12:15:36, cocoa closes @ 2 PM... Dunno

Wish I could filter these out for certain markets.... I don't really care about the softs, but I check the quotes every now and again...

TX,

How do they settle on MGEX wheat?
More...

Settlement on MGEX is the same as the other grains...final period into 1:15, but the market stays open until 1:30 CST for "post settlement"
 
Settlements are based on the floor close. Since they no longer have a floor, those settlements are still based on the same hours (i think) or are coordinated with when the options pit closes. Used to be 11:50 for CC.
 
OK I understand. Thanks Bunkinc.

I assume TAS orders were in the pit, do they still exist now that it is all electronic?
