"MES" is the micro ES Futures Matt uses in the SPY System.
Be sure to select "Futures" in the drop-down list, and be
sure to take a contract a few months out; i.e., Sept. I got
holding a June contract, and they closed it first thing in the
morning, not EOD.
June contracts expired - you would have wanted to roll those
over to Sept contacts a couple weeks back - roll over occurs 4
times a year and when trades get held through roll over one has to
close the expiring contact out and move into the new one - has to
be done manually - when trading futures it's something you must
track and know
