I already told you RR.
4.10 is when the Market On Close orders trade. These orders are entered into a blind cue. The imbalances are shown at 3:40, and anyone can enter opposing orders in the blind cue up until 4:00.
At 4:10 the trades take place at whatever price that all MOC orders can be filled. These MOC orders must be filled in their entirety.
I think there is a 10% limit on how far away from the 4:00 price that they will allow a trade.

From then until 5:00 the stocks can trade but only at that price which was set at 4:10.

For example, on tonight's MOC orders I saw 100,000 ARU to buy,
and 2.25 million TD to buy. These orders had to be filled at 4:10, and all at one price.
I am going to go now and see where they closed.

Just looked--- both stocks closed at about the same price that they were trading at at the bell.
