Are there any markets that must be closed earlier than before 4:59 PM ET
Yes there are AG markets that close early so you wont be able to close them at by 4:58:59
Some close at 2:05 and some close at 2:20 so make sure to close them before 1 minute before closing.
See the list of closing times below.
As a reminder all trades must be closed and orders canceled before 1 minute before closing time.
(WARNING: APEX has changed the 4:59pm EST rule. We will cancel open positions and pending orders attached to a position. You must STILL cancel orders that are not attached to a position or else they WILL remain and liquidate the account. Markets that require to be closed earlier are not affected by that rule change and must still be canceled manually on every trader's end.)
