Overnight Trading FAQ

What are the potential opportunities that Overnight trading offers?

Overnight trading allows you to react to breaking news while regular markets are closed, giving you the flexibility to trade as planned and potentially seize investment opportunities before the next regular trading session opens.

What are the risks of Overnight trading?

Overnight trading risks typically include (but are not limited to) lower volume liquidity, higher price volatility, and wider bid-ask spreads than during regular trading hours. News that influences market trends can cause prices to fluctuate rapidly.

What types of securities can I trade during Overnight trading hours?

Overnight trading currently supports over 1,200 symbols, including 270 ETFs and 946 stocks.

What order types are supported during Overnight trading hours?

Only limit orders are supported during Overnight trading hours. These orders are valid only during the current Overnight trading session.

Is Overnight trading available on weekends and holidays?

If the next day is a weekend or holiday, the Afternoon Trading Session is closed. This is because the NYSE Trade Reporting Service (TRF) is unable to report trades on weekends or holidays.
