Beyond the bell: What are extended-hours and 24/5 trading?
Most traders are familiar with US shares being available during regular market hours (the 'cash session'), from 9.30am to 4pm US Eastern Time (1.30pm - 8pm GMT), Monday through Friday. However, market volatility and trading opportunities continue to flow beyond these hours, especially around major news releases and corporate earnings.
Extended-hours trading
refers to pre-market (trading begins before the regular open) and post-market (trading continues after the regular close) sessions. These windows allow you to respond to critical events in real time, though with fewer participants, wider spreads, and often higher volatility.
24/5 trading
includes pre-market, post-market, and overnight sessions – providing you with continuous market access 24 hours a day, five days a week. These extended sessions often feature lower liquidity and higher volatility, so price movements can be sharper than during regular market hours.

Margin requirements³
Margin requirements on our platforms remain the same during out-of-hours trading. However, increased volatility and lower liquidity can magnify risks. Here's why:
Leverage amplifies gains and losses: Margin allows you to take on leverage, but if the market moves against you, you could face a margin call requiring additional funds to keep your position—especially with wider price swings occurring after hours.
Lower liquidity: If there aren't enough buyers or sellers available at your desired price, it may be difficult to close your position and limit potential losses.
What are the potential risks of trading 24-hr share CFDs?
After-hours trading can be tempting, but it comes with additional risks that you won't face during the regular session.
Lower liquidity
Reduced trading volume and fewer market participants make it challenging to buy or sell at a desired price.
Wider spreads
With fewer buyers and sellers in the market, the gap between bid-ask prices can widen.
Higher volatility
Lower liquidity can lead to larger, faster and less predictable price movements even with small trades.
Increased costs
Trading 24/5 can accumulate commissions, spreads, and overnight fees, reducing your potential profits.

How to manage your risk
Managing your risk exposure is key during 24/5 trading to protect your capital and prevent being caught off guard.
Lower leverage
Use a smaller position size or lower leverage compared to what you might typically use during regular trading hours.
Control & caution
Monitor liquidity before trading. Use limit orders to control entry and exit prices (not guaranteed).
Market awareness
Stay up to date with earnings releases, geopolitical updates, and economic data. Do not trade blindly into high-risk events.
Discipline
Stick to your plan. Avoid overtrading and taking emotional decisions when markets are quiet or volatile.

FAQs
24-hour share CFDs allow you to trade shares outside regular market hours, so you can act on key news, earnings releases and geopolitical developments the moment they happen. With CFDs, you can speculate on price movements without owning the underlying shares, using leverage. Though it can amplify both potential gains and losses.
Trading 24/5 allows you to buy and sell share CFDs beyond regular market hours, including after the official stock exchange closes and during pre-market sessions. While you can react to news and global events at any time, these extended hours often have lower liquidity, wider spreads, and higher volatility compared with standard trading sessions.
Extended hours can lead to larger price swings and amplified losses because of leverage. You may encounter price gaps between trading sessions, slippage on orders, and potential margin calls if the market moves against your position.
Also, lower liquidity can make it harder to enter or exit positions at desired prices, while sudden global events or news releases can cause rapid market movements.
