The daily pause at 16:00 Chicago time
Short answer
Futures copying pauses every Monday to Thursday from 16:00 to 17:00 Chicago time, the CME’s daily break. Trades placed in that hour are not copied to futures accounts.
The futures market is closed in that hour and the data feeds reconnect, so Thor does not copy futures trades then.
- It runs on the CME’s own clock, so it follows daylight saving time in Chicago.
- CFD accounts and perpetuals trade around the clock: a trade from such a leader still reaches its CFD and perpetuals followers in that hour.
