In addition to the ability to trade during extended trading hours on 87 US stocks, we offer the ability to trade on over 12,000 markets almost 24/5. For more details on specific instruments trading hours, please refer to the product overview on the platform.
Trading during extended hours (4pm to 8am, Monday to Thursday, and from 4pm to 5am on Fridays) allows you to speculate on selected US shares ahead of the underlying market open at 9.30pm, and after the underlying market close at 4am (all SG times).*
This allows you to manage your positions and your risk with more flexibility, as you can react earlier to earnings reports, which are usually released either before or after the core underlying market hours of 9.30pm to 4am*. Similarly, you're also able to react to breaking market news or global events which may impact these US shares.
*Please note: After US clocks change on 2 November 2025, the underlying US exchanges will revert to opening and closing one hour later than the current times. So, from Monday 3 November 2025, extended trading hours on US shares will run from 5pm to 9am the following day, Monday to Thursday, and from 5pm to 6am on Friday (all SG times).
Yes, there is a higher risk when you trade outside of the core trading session hours (when the underlying exchange is closed). There is likely to be a greater level of price volatility, due to lower trading volumes. This is because there are fewer participants than during normal market hours, resulting in less liquidity, which means that markets are more volatile as a result.
These market conditions mean that prices are likely to fluctuate more rapidly than usual, and some trades could be more difficult to execute, owing to the lower trading volumes. Our spreads may also be wider compared with the main trading session.
Our order types and execution function as normal during extended-hours trading, although we lower trading and position limits compared with the main trading session. This helps us to manage risk during periods of lower liquidity in the market. Account liquidations also function as normal, so it's important to ensure that your account is properly funded, and allow enough time to deposit funds, if required.
Our spreads may vary during extended-hours trading (4pm to 8am, Monday to Thursday, and from 4pm to 5am on Fridays), as there is less liquidity in the market due to fewer market participants, compared with the main trading session (9.30pm-4am, all SG times).*
Our spreads reflect the underlying market conditions. This is typical in extended trading hours across global markets. This means that you may have a higher spread cost if you trade during extended hours. You can view the current spread in the platform, directly on the order ticket.

No, there are no additional trading costs or fees, as our costs remain the same as during regular market hours. However, spreads may be wider compared with the main market session hours of 9.30pm-4am (SG time). This is because there are generally fewer participants in the market compared with the core market hours, and this results in less liquidity, which in turn means that markets are more likely to be volatile.
During extended trading hours, our share instruments are priced from the various available exchanges. Prices may differ slightly compared with trading during the core session of 9.30pm to 4am (SG time), as a result of varying levels of market activity.
Yes, our full range of order types are supported during extended-hours trading, including market and limit orders.
Lower trading limits, where we reduce the maximum order size available, help to mitigate the higher risks associated with reduced liquidity during extended-hours trading. This helps to ensure a stable and secure trading environment for all our customers.
The liquidation process operates in the same way as during the core market hours, ensuring a seamless trading experience. While liquidity levels during extended hours may vary, our systems are designed to manage this effectively, aiming to close positions at the best available price, in line with our Order Execution Policy.
Yes, you can trade CFDs on cryptocurrencies with us at the weekend. Holding costs are charged daily at 5AM (SGT) from Monday through to Sunday, and order types and execution function as normal during weekend trading hours.
It's important to monitor your trading account to check if you need to take any action in relation to your current positions and pending orders. If you make a payment to your account over the weekend, we recommend making a card deposit, paynow transfers to JPM UEN or using open banking. Please be aware that paynow transfers to DBS UEN won't be credited to your account during the weekend, and will reach your account on the next available business day. Where you don't have sufficient funds in your account to meet your margin requirements, you may be subject to an account close-out.
After US clocks change on 2 November 2025, the underlying US exchanges will revert to opening and closing one hour later than the current times. So, from Monday 3 November 2025, holding costs will be charged daily at 6AM (SGT).
