There have been several free and premium articles about the overnight effect in this blog in the last 10 years in the case of SPY ETF but also about other ETFs and individual stocks.

In an article in October 2020 I showed that when commissions and slippage are taken into account, the effect in SPY ETF has not been profitable.
In another article I have shown that even after commissions, the overnight effect in AMZN has provided an edge from 01/02/2015 to 07/27/2021.
