What are pre-market and after-hours shares trading?

Most company earnings are released outside of the main market session, which means the majority of traders have to wait to take their position. With us, you can trade 90+ key US stocks pre- and post-market to capitalise on earnings as soon as they’re announced.

  • CFD Trading on All Session US shares
    4pm to 8am Monday to Thursday, and 4pm Friday to 5am Saturday (UTC+8)

You’ll find our extended hours markets labelled ‘All Session’, to distinguish them from stocks only available in normal US market hours.

Why would I want to trade shares before or after-hours?

Trading on All Session stocks enables you to take advantage of any opportunities that happen outside the main trading window – like volatility around US company earnings and news announcements.
When you trade out of hours with us, our spread and commission are the same as those you’d get during regular market hours. However, underlying market spreads can widen due to reduced liquidity. So, you might find you pay more to open or close a trade.

The importance of out-of-hours trading

Stock prices can see significant volatility as traders and investors react to company earnings announcements. The amount of movement largely depends on whether or not the results are in line with analysts’ estimates.

As most US companies release their earnings outside of the main session, the majority of trading takes place in the pre- and post-market sessions. This makes out-of-hours trading vital for taking advantage of earnings volatility.

This is just one example of how to use out-of-hours trading to your advantage. You can also capitalise on price movements around macroeconomic data releases, and major news events.

What stocks can I trade after hours?

Trade over 90 key US stocks before and after-hours with us, including Apple, Facebook and Amazon.
