Struggle myself with the quote page given normal hour trading and the afternoon/night trades. Charts do not always work if market aren't trading.

From the November soybean futures charts, the low valued trade today was $15.95 1/4 cents/bu. High $16.57/bu. Trading range 61 3/4 cents per bu. Opened at $15.99 1/2. Last trade - $15.54 1/2.

If you want to look at something interesting, look at the 5 and 15 minute quotes including volume. Gives an idea of market activity during the day.

Change is from last night's close to this night's close,
not opening to close. Means trading opened higher
than it closed.
