Error when trading Russell 2000 micro mini futures

[salpsx]

I’m new to NT, I was under the impression I can trade Russell 2000 micro mini futures 23 hours a day Sunday thru Saturday. I was trading fine last night but now (1pm CT) I get the below message when trying to order:

account XXXXXXX Orders may not be entered while the market is closed

ExchangeRejectCode = 1003 affected Order: Sell 1 Market

any thoughts?

It's a holiday -- today is Good Friday.

Oops! I’m an idiot…shows I need to go to church more. Thanks for the help!

A dead giveaway is that nobody else has made a trade either since 8:15 CT.

Hello salpsx,

Thanks for your post.

bltdavid is correct. Since Friday was a holiday (Good Friday), the market was closed so this error appeared.

You will need to wait until the market reopens before trying to place an order on that instrument.

The trading hours of an instrument could be found by going to Tools > Instruments, searching for and selecting the instrument, and noting the Trading Hours template it uses. Then, go to Tools > Trading Hours, select the Trading Hours template, and note the Holiday trading hours for that template.
