This release is likely to be the final release before GO going official.

The expiration date for the various e-mini index future products like e-mini SP, NQ, ER2, etc. will be 15th of this month. The more important date, however, is tomorrow, September 7.

By tomorrow, most data feeds and brokerages will switch to the December contracts for their continuous symbols and for general order placements.

This switching date is earlier than most expirations that usually occur during the middle of the month.
