According to optionsxpress settlement happens at 4.15 EST although the day session closes 5.15 EST. So the last trade and the settlement can be different.

(I no longer trust a given explanation anymore unless I can actually verify it hence the "according to")

This is how the CME defines a daily settlement:


  • The volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of all trades executed in the full-sized futures contract on the trading floor and in the E-mini futures contract executed on CME Globex will be calculated for a the designated lead month contract from 15:14:30 – 15:15:00 Central Time (“CT”). A multiplier of 5 will be applied to the quantities traded in the full-sized contract to reflect the 5 to 1 relationship between the full-sized and the E-mini contracts.

  • The combined VWAP for the designated lead month will be rounded to the nearest .25 index point.
