What is pre-market trading?

Pre-market trading takes place before the regular market session. The US market opens at 09:30 EST each day, but our pre-market session starts at 04:00 EST, or 08:00 GMT.

What is after-hours trading? 

After-hours trading is the session that takes place once the regular market has closed. The US market closes at 16:00 EST, but our after-hours trading session runs until 20:00 EST, or 00:00 GMT. 

What are the benefits of trading out of hours? 

Most companies report their earnings outside of stock exchange hours. This means that by the time trading starts, the news has been digested and the larger price movements are over. 

To react immediately, traders have to take their positions in pre- and post-market sessions. 

What are the risks of out-of-hours trading?

While trading before and after hours creates opportunities for traders, it also creates risk, particularly due to the lower liquidity levels. 

Although news breaks out of hours, a lot of traders prefer to stick to the main market, which results in fewer counterparties to take the other side of your trades. The lower liquidity can make prices more unstable – resulting in massive price swings – and also result in larger spreads. 

Volatility can be exciting for those with a high risk appetite, but for less experienced traders, it can be daunting. If you do decide to trade after hours, we’d recommend protecting your trades with our suite of risk management tools, including stops and limits. 

Learn how to manage your risk.

Our extended hours offering is a continuous market, running from 8:00 to 00:00 GMT. By keeping it separate from our normal offering, we can ensure individuals with lower risk appetites aren’t exposed to the volatility that out-of-hours trading brings.
