    I looked back through the posts and the first entry ES was posted by James Roe on Friday Oct 21st at 5:03 pm indicating a price of 3772; which makes sense by my chart. First entry should therefore not be 3764 (which was on the table before) or 3805 which is on there now.

    At the end of the day the futures market gets adjusted after the close. It is called “Mark to Market”. You are correct coz101, On Friday the last trade price was 3772, which is the price I went short. But the adjusted mark to market price was 3764. I use the TOS trading platform and on my account statement page it shows

    Thanks, I don't understand the "mark to market" concept or reality related to futures trading. I would be upset if I thought I got the listed trade price but was filled much lower.  (on a short position).

    Matt, I posted this below, I'm pretty sure that James Roe put the trade on the community site at 3772 on Friday. Please look back to his post. This actually improves performance a little so worth putting the correct number there. Not sure where 3764 came from?

    blame Tradestation - they show Friday's closing bar at 3764, maybe it was showing 3772 on Friday when James posted the image. I checked Trading View and it shows 3772 so I am using that. What really matters is where one filled - my hope is not many people too that Friday one as I commented that I thought one could get better prices on Sunday

    That´s right. On Friday the MES take a firstnshort trade on QE BTS. I think today it would be a second trade on that sub-system.  Please Matt, can you put it OK on ES trades  ?? This will be more easy when it comes the new community chat of systems ! We are waiting them. Thanks.
