that's my guess anyway...
 
Also resting buy stops over the day's high at 1169.

Thin after hours market + news + resting buy stops + "BUY AT THE MARKET!" = price spike
 
I see 2 contracts traded at 1215 and 40 or 50 at 1210. On the squawk box they were arguing over the closing prices and I heard someone say they had a high in the mini's of 1192. What did your data show for a high? Do they ever break e-mini trades?

That 50 point spike at 4:09 is the most I've seen since I started trading the NQ (a few months). Sure makes you realize a stop isn't necessarily your risk exposure.

E-mini trading is really a game of chance. Globex not available at times (luckily no serious damage but I couldn't exit when I wanted to), and then that huge spike just after I sold my last short. Casinos are starting to look conservative compared to e-mini trading.
 
gerry-
don't take offense to this....but was a big move in the nq after market really a surprise to you? If it was , i don't understand how you can trade without knowing when the top tech stocks are reporting earnings.
it's a good idea to be aware of all upcoming earnings reports as well as economic # release dates and times.
