Bug? SPY Trading hours should end at 15 mins past?

[Dave180]

Actually two questions here

1) I see that on Stockcharts the SPY trades to 16:15, not 16:00. So when I set Auto in the time template I would expect 15mins past too? [It doesn't, a bug?] And on the CBOE web site the SPY Product Spec is also showing 15mins past, but ...
2) If the SPY is a CBOE product and trades Chicago hours (as shown in the spec as 8:30 to 15:15, ie same as ES), why is it shown with NY hours in eSignal (exch TZ set)?

The SPDRs are listed on AMEX (now NYSE Euronext) and not the CBOE

Could eSignal provide a comment here please.

For SPY:
The closing time of the regular trading session is 16:00 ET.
Per page 1 of the perspectus, which can be downloaded on the NYSE Euronext website here:

The CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange) lists the options, which go until 16:15 ET.

Hi, thanks for link.
I see no specific time in .link , just the refence "Individual SPDRs trade on the American Stock Exchange like any other equity security".
I do note that on their web site they show a "Last Sale" as at 16:15, see http://www.amex.com/ - ETFs - Product Info - Description.

So, as per Stockcharts and AMEX, surely the close is 16:15?

The trades that occur after 16:00 are Form-T trades, which are after hours.

On an advanced chart you could create a time template to account for the time that you want the chart to display til.

On a Quote window you can add the Last/Extended Hours Last column to display trades that occur after hours.
