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:
