After a bit of testing, I know now for a fact, that under normal circumstances a sell stop order will not be transmitted to CME exchange outside NYSE trading hours, if the user doesn't tick "Trigger outside RTH". This is also explicitly explained to the user (via popup after transmitting the order), if you choose DAY instead of GTC.

The only question remaining is, why a sell stop order went through at 3:10 AM ET, without the "Trigger outside RTH" option. Maybe someone can explain under which atypical circumstances simulated order types (like stop) do go through to their destination even outside RTH ?

It varies based on what flavors of accounts you have. Mine usually settles out around 11pm ET, mainly due to Fidelity getting NetBenefits info transferred over verrrrry slowly. It's available on NB earlier.

There is not one single update. The value shown will change throughout the day and into the evening as investments reprice. Most will have updated by 8:00 pm ET, but I've seen small changes in the overnight hours.

Thanks for clarifying! I saw both your comments, btw.
The main page when you log in to Fidelity.com is known as the "Portfolio Summary" page, which displays the combined value of your Fidelity accounts. It sounds like that's what you're referring to.
This isn’t updated on a single nightly schedule. Instead, it shows the most current values for your accounts and holdings. If you refresh the page, the balance shown is current as of the timestamp displayed. For example, it will look something like this above your balances: "As of Jul-30-2026 4:00 p.m. ET.”
Your understanding is correct: mutual funds are priced once each trading day after the market closes; however, to clarify, it can take several hours for those prices to be reported. So there isn’t a specific time when every account and holding is guaranteed to be fully updated.
Hopefully, this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, please feel free to ask; that's what we're here for!

Mutual funds can vary, even day to day, in update schedule being posted to brokerages, but they are typically updated by 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM ET is my experience.

When I signed off last evening just prior to the conference call, MSFT was circling 400, up from its 4 PM ET close at 390.54, but below a failed attempt to take out and sustain above consequential resistance lodged between 400 and 406.
Whatever MSFT management said to analysts on the call certainly made a difference! The stock ripped higher, taking out 406, which trigger an upside projection to challenge the dominant October 2025-Present resistance line that cuts across the price axis in the vicinity of 445.
Fast-forward to this AM, we see that MSFT has ripped to a recovery rally high at 451.73 so far.
As long as any forthcoming pullback weakness is contained above or within support from 425 to 435, the pattern setup off the June 25th corrective low at 349.20 argues for another upside run that will challenge the 468 to 472.20 resistance level.

# EU aims for seven AI gigafactories with €10 billion plan in race with US, China
7:25am ET, 07/30/2026 - Reuters
By Foo Yun Chee
BRUSSELS, July 30 (Reuters) - The European Union will fund seven artificial intelligence gigafactories across the bloc with €10 billion ($11.5 billion), the European Commission said on Thursday, as the EU steps up efforts to close the technology gap with the U.S. and China.
The Commission said it aims to attract at least €20 billion in private investments for the projects. The total was increased from five planned gigafactories to seven following strong interest from EU countries.
The facilities will combine advanced AI processors, software, cloud technology, high-speed connectivity and data centres. They will come on top of the existing 19 AI factories in various EU countries.
"Access to the raw scale of computing power within AI Gigafactories is a strategic necessity for Europe as AI development accelerates," EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen said in a statement.
Consortia or special purpose vehicles made up of technology providers, cloud service providers, public entities and investors can apply to take part in the gigafactories.
The tender process will close on November 12. The Commission expects to announce successful bidders in early 2027, with the facilities becoming operational within 18 months of contract signing.
AMD AMD.O, Nvidia NVDA.O and Qualcomm QCOM.O have signed letters of intent with the Commission to provide chips to groups involved in the gigafactory projects.

AI says…
Together, **Apple (\~7.1%) and Amazon (\~4.9%) command roughly 12% of the entire QQQ portfolio**. \[[1](https://www.tradingsim.com/blog/10-best-holdings-in-qqq-stock)\]
**The Math:** If Apple jumps 5% and Amazon surges 8% after hours, their combined move would directly add about **0.75%** to the QQQ's value from their weights alone.
**The Overnight Mechanic:** While the QQQ ETF itself stops active trading at 8:00 PM ET, its price action shifts directly into the **Nasdaq-100 E-mini futures (NQ)** overnight. The ETF will gap up to match those futures at the 9:30 AM ET opening bell tomorrow. \[[1](https://www.barchart.com/story/news/3553641/stocks-rebound-as-microsoft-earnings-ease-ai-spending-concerns), [2](https://nz.finance.yahoo.com/quote/QQQ/options/)\]
**2. The AI Capital Expenditure "Validation" Rally**
The broader tech market has been highly volatile due to massive artificial intelligence infrastructure spending.\[[1](https://www.invesco.com/qqq-etf/en/etf-insights/qqq-monthly-review.html), [2](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/nasdaq-p-500-futures-rise-085915709.html)\]
**The Catalyst:** Following mixed sentiment from Meta's heavy capex plans and Microsoft's strong Azure results, a blowout report from Amazon (AWS AI growth) would validate that the AI trade is highly profitable. \[[1](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/nasdaq-p-500-futures-rise-085915709.html), [2](https://www.barchart.com/story/news/3553641/stocks-rebound-as-microsoft-earnings-ease-ai-spending-concerns)\]
**The Ripple Effect:** A strong report wouldn't just lift AMZN and AAPL; it would lift semiconductor and cloud peers like Nvidia, AMD, and Alphabet. This creates a massive secondary wave since Nvidia and Microsoft make up another 14% of the fund. \[[1](https://www.tradingsim.com/blog/10-best-holdings-in-qqq-stock), [2](https://www.perplexity.ai/finance/QQQ)\]

We're here all weekend if any other questions come to mind.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience. I understand how continually resetting biometrics can be irritating.
We've seen other reports of this on the sub, and some clients have had success with these troubleshooting steps:
1. Please confirm that your device and app are using the current versions (Biometric features can be impacted when the app isn't entirely up to date, and beta versions of your phone's operating system can also cause issues)
2. Try toggling off your Face ID in the app, relaunching the app, and then turning Face ID back on
3. As a final step, uninstall and then reinstall the app to ensure a complete refresh
If the issue persists, please contact our Technical Support team for further troubleshooting. Associates are available Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. ET. Just say "technical support" to connect with the proper team.
