Extended hours trading is trading that occurs outside of regular trading hours. Only US stocks on the platform are eligible for extended hours trading.

Regular trading hours for stock exchanges in the US are Monday to Friday from 9:30am to 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time (EST), except for market holidays.

Extended hours trading occurs outside those hours — from 4:00am to 9:30am EST for pre-market and 4:00pm to 8:00pm EST for after-hours trading.

Execution depends on a number of factors. During extended hours trading, the more illiquid a security is, the greater the likelihood of partial or no executions, volatility, and wider bid-ask spreads. Read this FAQ to learn more about the associated risks.

Only limit orders in whole shares are eligible for execution in extended hours. To find out about the order types, go to this FAQ.

Market orders placed outside regular trading hours will be queued for execution on the next trading day during pre-market hours and, if needed, rolling over to regular market hours or post-market hours.

You'll need to read and accept the extended market hours terms on this page. Orders can be submitted either:

• when you hit the 'Buy' or 'Sell' button in-app for the first time (if you submit the order during extended hours), or
• after enabling the 'Include extended hours' toggle on the order screen
