Firstrade, a U.S. commission-free online brokerage, has announced the upcoming launch of its overnight trading service, scheduled for Q1 2025.
This feature will allow investors to trade U.S. stocks and ETFs five days a week, 20 hours a day, further enhancing flexibility and accessibility for international investors entering the U.S. market.
The launch of overnight trading will reinforce Firstrade’s appeal among active traders and a diverse range of investors, enabling them to leverage Firstrade’s powerful research tools and support to faster adjust their strategies in response to global market fluctuations.
“At Firstrade, we are committed to providing our users with robust investment tools and resources so they can capture market opportunities no matter where they are,” said John Liu, CEO of Firstrade.
“With the introduction of overnight trading, we’re enhancing the client experience to meet the evolving and diverse needs of our investors.”
Firstrade’s overnight trading service will be available five days a week, from 8:00 AM ET until 4:00 AM ET the next day.
This flexible trading schedule empowers investors to capitalize on opportunities across different global market sessions.
“The investing landscape has transformed, with traders increasingly seeking to make faster, more informed decisions around the clock. While many of our clients trade during traditional market hours, overnight trading offers the flexibility to respond quickly to breaking news and market shifts, wherever they may be,” said Stephen Callahan, Trading Behavior Specialist at Firstrade.
“At Firstrade, we are committed to equipping our clients with the tools, insights, and resources they need to navigate the markets and support their investment journey every step of the way.”
The phased rollout of Firstrade’s overnight trading service will begin in Q1 2025 on both its online platform and mobile app.
