Hey everyone, this might be a very straight forward question, but I'm trying to figure out how the % change is calculated for futures contracts (like the figures you see when logging into ETrade on the mobile app).
I'm asking since futures essentially trade 24 hours a day, what base price is used to calculate % change (rolling 24 hours, previous market close/open, etc)? I tried working backwards it seems that the base for the % change between market close and before next market open is 4:30pm Eastern time. For intraday (regular 9:30-4), is it % change based on the open spot price?
