Globex

What it means

Globex covers the electronic trading hours outside the regular cash-session open. Futures traders often use it to frame overnight highs, lows, and gaps into the main session.

What to watch

Not every overnight level matters equally. Thin liquidity can produce reference points that look clean on the chart but do not carry much participation behind them.

Where traders usually run into this

Globex is most useful once it is tied to a concrete page, chart decision, or workflow question.

• Overnight Range keeps this term attached to a real glossary instead of leaving it as standalone jargon.
