What is Night Session Trading?

The introduction of night session trading allows trading in the U.S. stock market to be conducted 24 hours a day, better aligning with the schedule of people in the East.

Investors can trade U.S. stocks promptly based on the market conditions in the Asia-Pacific region and unexpected events in Hong Kong and the U.S., without having to wait for the U.S. market to open in the evening.

The U.S. night session trading hours are from 8:00 p.m. to 3:50 a.m. Eastern Time from Sunday to Thursday, constituting the 24-hour trading of U.S. stocks along with pre-market, regular market, and after-hours trading. Risk Warning

The trading volume during night trading is generally much smaller than during regular trading hours, and usually smaller than after-hours or pre-market trading. Please be aware of the risk of slippage. In addition, there is a higher risk of volatility around major events such as earnings reports announced by listed companies.
