ydfah Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 We're pleased to announce that starting September 21, 2017, we will be expanding our Extended-Hours Trading sessions. You'll be able to trade during a continuous 13-hour trading session (Day + Ext. and GTC + Ext.) instead of 12. Beginning on that date, the Day + Ext. and GTC + Ext. sessions will start an hour earlier, at 7 a.m. ET; the A.M.-only session will start an hour earlier, at 7 a.m. ET, and close at 9:28 a.m. ET instead of 9:15; and the P.M.-only session will start at 4:02 p.m. ET instead of 4:15. All open orders within these sessions will be adjusted to align with the new times. Here's a quick summary of the expanded hours: Session Current Start Current Finish New Start New Finish AM Extended-Hours Trading Session 8 a.m. ET 9:15 a.m. ET 7 a.m. ET 9.28 a.m. ET Regular Market Hours 9:30 a.m. ET 4 p.m. ET PM Extended-Hours Trading Session 4:15 p.m. ET 8 p.m. ET 4:02 p.m. ET 8 p.m. ET Day+Ext Session 7 a.m. ET 8 p.m. ET This change will give you an extra hour to make investment decisions, take advantage of early morning news, factor in earnings announcements, and so on.

Jerry Medved Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 FYI from MT point of view: TRADING - as they indicated QUOTES - as of right now, until we switch to the new API, the timestamps will still start at 8 AM eastern, even though the quotes actually update (even right now) starting at 4 AM. As for the end time with quotes, right now they update until 8PM. I assume that isn't going to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydfah Posted September 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) So there won't be an issue trading those extended times through MT at TDA come the 21st? Edited September 11, 2017 by ydfah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 I would not expect any. We just pass the order through. MT does not do any restrictions on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
