ICE soft settlements

Hi,

Pardon a rather slow newbie... but if I'm reading this page correctly, doesn't CC options end trading at the exact same time as CC futures, at 2:00 PM EST?

What's this about 11:48 - 11:50...?

What the heck! How can those two links show such different values?

I really don't believe this can be correct. It shows end of electronic trading for cocoa and coffee at 2:45 PM EST.

All of my historical data ends at 2:00 PM EST.

yea...ICE not very user friendly at all...really a crappy exchange imo. Wish we still had the pits at NYBOT. That document is old, but the OPTIONS hours it states are correct, and the softs settle and technically "open" with the options. Everything else is "pre" and "post" trading.

If nothing else...when in doubt, call them up. Their phone # is on the document.
