Hey everyone, Kirk here again and welcome back to the daily call. Today, we are going to be talking about afterhours markets trading and just going through an overview for traders and basically some concepts and things you need to know if this is your first time learning about afterhours trading. There’s a couple of key things that we’ll talk about and you might hear me clicking around because I want to make sure we get all these comments or these dates and things like that right. If you do hear me clicking around, it’s just because I want to give you guys the right info. There’s a couple of things you have to understand about afterhours trading. One, that there’s regular market trading or kind of like I guess general market trading that typically occurs between 9:30 AM ET and 4:00 PM ET. That’s when most all contracts are trading. In fact, that’s the wide majority of contracts, volume, liquidity. Everything is traded between these regular market hours or regular trading hours. Again, 9:30 AM Eastern to 4:00
