What is extended hours trading?

Extended hours trading occurs outside traditional hours in pre- and post-market sessions. These additional windows allow traders to react live to breaking news and events when regular exchanges are closed, giving you extra time to seize market opportunities while others wait.

Benefits of trading with extended hours

Trading out-of-hours offers specific strategic advantages for traders:

  • Extensive market access while other traders wait
  • Potential to capitalise on quick price movements
  • Greater trading flexibility
  • Less crowded trading environment

Risks of trading with extended hours

It’s important to consider the following when trading out-of-hours:

  • Less liquidity due to lower trading volumes for certain markets
  • Slower execution than regular trading hours
  • Wider spreads between the bid and asking price
  • Greater market volatility and potential overreactions
