To find specific trading hours for the product(s) that you trade, you can visit the CME website here:
✅ https://www.cmegroup.com/trading-hours.html
Remember all trades are automatically closed at 16:10 EST.
If you're trading a futures contract that ends prior to 16:10 EST, it's crucial to close your position before the daily close to ensure you're not holding any contracts after the 16:10 EST cutoff.
You can resume trading on weekends at 18:00 EST on Sunday, unless there's a CME holiday. Any trades placed after this time will be recorded in the Trade Report for the subsequent Monday.
Please make sure to check on CME Group's Holiday Calendar below because trading hours vary depending on markets traded on these holidays.

You can not hold positions overnight.
