Sensa Investments “Trading Hours”
Our algorithms on our SPX based products run during regular trading hours from 8:30 AM to 3.00 PM Chicago time (Central Time). The benefit of running algorithms during global trading hours is outweighed by lower liquidity during global trading hours. We run the trading algorithms until 3:00 PM Chicago Time (15 minutes before the end of regular trading hours) to give our clients a realistic chance to execute a trade before market close should a trading alert signal be issued at 3:00 PM.
