Extended market hours are trading sessions before and after the regular trading hours on US stock exchanges. The trading session before regular trading is called pre-market, and the one after is after-hours.
When are extended market hours active?
- Pre-market: 05:00 - 10:30 ET
After-hours: 17:00 - 21:00 ET
How can I trade during extended hours?
Extended hours trading is available for the most liquid and widely traded US stocks on the platform. Stocks with extended session trading will continue quoting prices beyond regular trading hours, and on CFD accounts, both Buy and Sell prices remain visible.
What are the risks?
Trading outside standard hours comes with certain risks. Lower liquidity can result in fewer buy and sell offers, wider spreads may increase the difference between Buy and Sell prices, and higher volatility can lead to sharp price movements due to reduced trading activity.
What are the benefits?
Traders can react quickly to breaking news or market events, manage positions beyond regular trading sessions, and capitalize on price movements that occur before or after the main market hours.
