you can't trust the SPY close on Tradestation until a few min
after the market closes because they show after hrs data even on a
daily chart for a couple min after the bell rings. It then
updates about 2 - 5 min after the close to the true close.
Generally Stockcharts.com close is correct.
I think the odds are likely for tradestation to market below
that number. if you are trading options you have until 4:15
to make the trade, otherwise just wait for matt to inform us what
his platform says - thats all that matters to me. You
have until 8pm tonight and the market is below the closing price so
no worries about getting burned on an after hours rally.
