If it's coming from Trump's SEC, it's a bad thing. You can bet on that.

Closing trades nightly, on weekends, and in emergent situations is good for everyone but those intent on manipulating the markets. Changing the current practice also ensures that the people already well-versed in watching anomalies in real time -- I mean with their eyes, not just reading reports -- will now likely be asleep when weird shit ensues.

This is NOT a good thing.
