TDAmeritrade ThinkOrSwim also crashed in the SPX 20pt whiplash

Thanks Steve, yes, afterhours they are pretty consistent, but I also trade in Extended Hours.  Agreed, if I do not understand this discrepancy, maybe I should not trade extended overnight hours, but I also work fulltime. . . and overnight is having some of the biggest moves... so it is an important time period.   Any insights or knowledge from anybody on the Inverse EFTs in Extended Overnight hours?

SH vs SPY short -

Posted by Walt on 15th of Jun 2020 at 09:00 am

SH vs SPY short - why so different?  From 7pmSunday to last night bottom SH was a 8.8% gain, but short SPY was only a 2% gain.  Why?  Does anybody know?  SH is not leveraged, it is supposed to be straight inverse.  Anybody have insights into this??  (it is very important to my strategy, and if I understand it better, maybe arbitrage opportunity for all of us)     

   [I do not mind a little inconsistency, but 4x different!]

   [I have one guess, in extended overnight hours, which these both trade, Shorting SPY is not allowed, so hence, in extended hours, it might be "restricted" on the downside....]

Am I thinking wrong to place much higer value on setups that do not mirror or look like SPY, QQQ, DIA?   i.e. stuff that looks to be happening independent of "market".

yes goldnice, we know from your posts several times a day you are bullish on gold and silver.

Is_"Filling-The-Gap"_Possibly_Obsolete for some ETFs? What is

Is_"Filling-The-Gap"_Possibly_Obsolete for some ETFs?

What is the theory behind it.  I recall it being that there a a number of "left over" and "unfulfilled" buyers and sellers orders "in the gap" that did not get filled, since it did not trade all night.  So, seems still valid for most stocks.  But for SPY, for example, it trades 24x5 (all night), so does the "fill the gap" still apply?   and... what is the theory behind it?   [we got a huge gap below to consider]  Thanks!
