I have been watching the E-Mini S&P for a while (few months) now and was wondering what happens between 5:30pm and 6:00 pm. At that time I am no longer getting data (streaming) and I am no longer able to place orders. It is as if it were closed. but the close happens at 4:15pm and opens back up at 4:30pm. Could you look into this for me and let me know what is happening?

Note: Times are in EST.

5:30 to 6:00 pm EST is the time reserved for maintenance.

I have a couple of questions:
1- Will this happen every day?
2- What are you doing with the data that happens at this time?
3- Will this happen on the real money server?

Will this happen every day?
- No this doesn’t happen every day, but it is our window if we need to update our environment.

What are you doing with the data that happens at this time?
- For what Market. Nothing is open

Will this happen on the real money server?
- Yes
