can't wait for the 'open the casino already' posts between 8-9pm ET

ET has K-1 tax steps which I'd rather skip, that's why I just go MLPI

Ah yes, 10am ET, time for the price to suddenly dump

Imagine this being the final squeeze and the bubble pop starts at 10:04 am ET

Good morning, and happy Monday!
So that we can best assist, could you please let us know more details about the trade you're placing? What is the ticker, and in what kind of account? The more details you can provide, the better.
As a reminder, the extended hours sessions are typically from 7:00 a.m. to 9:28 a.m. ET for the premarket, and 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET for the aftermarket. The extended hours trade ticket is available during these times.
Additionally, Day+ orders can cross over between extended hours and standard market sessions for one market day, so they would not allow you to set up an extended hours order for a future day.
I'll keep an eye out for your reply!

Nasdaq have a free earnings calendar. US companies usually report either before the open around 7-8am ET or right after the close at 4pm ET, and the calendar shows which one.
This is basic step.

Hi u/altafmubarak \- While Mutual Funds, hands-down, are always best ways to invest for almost all of us. Its not that ULIPs are the most pathetic product to surrender blindly, esp after you have purchased. Found a right policy, managed well, these can be almost as good as MFs (read almost with emphasis, definitely not better).
On your Q - discontinue or surrender, don't jump to any until you see the charges. ULIPs can have charges like mortality, policy admin, policy allocation charges, and finally fund management charges (FMC). Only the FMC should ideally be paid given an investment product. Mortality - if you are under-insured, then these charges aren't waste. If adding the cover through this charge helps you make-up for the term cover short-fall, if any, its playing a role. Finally, for last many years the other 2 charges are either too low or ZERO in many policies. Sometimes, these are refunded back after 10th year or so with meagre interest including the mortality charges.

If you have got a policy where these are ZERO, i wouldn't surrender or even discontinue. That will be quite painful financially - your mortality charges won't come back for sure. I would instead recommend continuing with policy and make it work like a MF for you. You can analyze the fund options, take advice from a trusted advisor on which fund to pick and then take advantage of most "under-rated" feature of tax-free rebalancing. You can practice asset allocation, make informed fund choices and rebalance once in 6/12 months without cost. That gives you some of the expensive FMC back. Finally, if your annual premium is under 2.5L, then the maturity proceeds after 15/20/25 years will be tax-free. Doing all this will make you come near to what MFs would do for you. But surrender/discontinue is permanent loss.
In summary - ULIPs are not as bad as they are talked about. Because most people remember the narrative of 2006-12/14 period but forget the "forced" reforms that took aways the excess charges and other things that happened to the product. AND the decision to surrender/discontinue or otherwise depends on the policy you have. Its not an absolute decision.
Disclosure: We have ZERO commercial interest in ULIPs. ET Money, a MF-first app, doesn't offer them on our app but that doesn't mean we paint the category bad.

Which market opens at 9am ET?

30 min TPO, RTH only (9:30–4 ET), 70% value area. A+B is the initial balance. keep globex on a separate profile

Splitting $2k evenly into just MPLX and ET is way too concentrated for money you're DRIPping for years. Both look strong on paper, MPLX scores 83/100 on dividend quality and ET scores 100/100, and both have top price trend scores (100/100). Both are also rated moderate risk (3/5), not low risk. But they're both energy, both pipeline MLPs, so you'd have zero diversification, just two stocks in one sector. ET's payout is 99% of earnings, meaning almost all earnings go to the dividend right now, which is a thin cushion at best, though its yield of 6.39% and 5-year dividend growth of 15% a year are both strong. MPLX is in better shape with a payout of 89% of earnings, and it yields 7.25% with 5-year dividend growth of 4.28% a year, but debt load in this sector is still worth watching. That's real risk to load $2k into.
SCHD spreads you across 100+ companies, dividend quality is 95/100, and risk is rated low (1/5), well below MPLX and ET. The payout is backed by broad diversification instead of one or two companies' earnings, and the coverage and safety look solid, no red flags there. Yield is lower at 3.12%, but it has grown at a steady 8.78% a year over the past five years.
Since you already don't need the cash and have $600k+ in index funds, honestly I'd keep it boring: most of the $2k into SCHD, and if you still want MPLX/ET for fun, cap each at maybe 10-15% of this new pot, not half each.

The overnight action on **Greenland Energy ($GLND)** is flat-lined at the maximum allowed 149% ceiling ($2.990) for a reason. This geopolitical Greenland headline has completely cleared out the Ask side, creating a massive buy imbalance.
If this momentum breaks past the $3.00 barrier when the session resets at 4:00 AM ET and successfully retests the historic $23–$25 highs, the macro Fibonacci extensions completely open up into blue-sky territory:
**1.618 Macro Extension:** **$58.45** 🎯
**2.618 Macro Extension:** **$115.80** 🪐
The float is exceptionally low and volume is heavily matching the Bid. If the pre-market lift sustains the current order book depth, we are looking at a straight run into major double digits. Eyes on the 4:00 AM open to see how the volume scales! 🔥📊💸

Nasdaq's official launch of 23/5 trading in December means the market will basically be open around the clock with only a 1 hour break between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM ET.
Since trading effectively runs non stop from Sunday at 9:00 PM ET straight through Friday night...
What happens to the daily "What Are Your Moves Tomorrow" thread?
Will it only be relevant on Sunday afternoons before the week kicks off?
Or will mods post a new thread during the 1 hour maintenance break every night?
This is just a random thought that crossed my mind.

Correct, 8 pm ET is the end of trading day. The auto-sweep will be dated the next day.
My auto-sweep for today (9/20) is dated 9/21.

SWGXX autosweep is based on 8 pm ET balance.

Are those ET?

I built a research tool that builds daily evidence on \~350 liquid US stocks
and makes directional calls on the top 40 after market close. When its two
analyst passes — one bullish-framed, one skeptical — AGREE, it commits to a
call with a target range and risk stop. When they disagree, it abstains and
shows you both sides instead of forcing a call.
The part nobody does: every call states what would PROVE IT WRONG, and then
the system grades itself against SPY at 1 day / 1 week / 1 month —
automatically, in every digest, whether it wins or loses.
\[TRGP card unchanged — it's accurate as-is\]
The evidence behind each call: insider Form 4 filings, 13F institutional
moves, analyst consensus, news, macro regime.
Honest status: it's research-stage. It is NOT validated yet — that's exactly
what the self-grading is for, and there's a pre-registered validation gate
before any performance claims. This is not signals-for-sale, not a Discord
pump, and not investment advice. I want 10–15 serious traders to read 3
daily digests and answer:
1. Could you tell what it was claiming within 60 seconds of opening it?
2. What would you delete?
3. What's missing that you'd want daily?
If you're interested, comment or DM and I'll add you to the email list
(arrives after close, \~4:40pm ET). No calls, no pitch, no follow-up funnel.
Blunt answers are worth more than polite ones.

When yields go up bond prices go down. This is a bear market for bonds.
If you buy an actual bond (not a bind fund or bond ET), for example, a AAA rated corporate bond. The price of the bond will fall with more rate increases, but if you hold to maturity you will get your principal back. ETFs never mature.
In this market if you want to lock in "bonds" look at CD ladders. You can lock in a 5 year FDIC insured CD near 5% and no risk of bond default or loss of principal like an ETF.
If you have an account such as with Fidelity you can buy Broker CDs from just about any credit union, major and small banks.

I’m testing a 15-minute MNQ/NQ strategy and want honest feedback from experienced futures traders.
**Strategy rules:**
Mark the **9:30–9:45 AM ET opening-range candle**.
Mark its **high, low, and midpoint**.
After 9:45, if price breaks **above the opening-range high, enter SHORT**.
If price breaks **below the opening-range low, enter LONG**.
**Take profit = midpoint**.
**Risk = $150 per trade**.
**Profit target = $450 per trade**.
That’s a fixed **1:3 risk-to-reward ratio**.
I want the rules applied mechanically, without changing them after seeing the results.
