Why the Sessions Matter

◷

Overnight is thinner

/NQ trades nearly 23 hours a day, but fewer contracts change hands overnight, so moves can be sharper and fills wider.

⚙

The New York open

Volume usually jumps at the 9:30 a.m. ET stock-market open — often the most active stretch of the day for /NQ.

⚠

Know the break

Monday–Thursday, /NQ pauses 5:00–6:00 p.m. ET for daily maintenance. Orders can't be filled during the break.

Plan the week before it starts: Free Sunday Levels sends the /NQ key levels and the one event to watch every Sunday at 6:00 PM PT.
