24/5 Trading

Trade The Pool offers 24/5 access to US markets. This allows you to trade nearly around the clock, 5 days a week.

• Active Session: Monday 3 a.m. ET – Friday 8 p.m. ET
• Weekends: No weekend session

Only limit orders are accepted (including stop-limit orders). It is important to note that stop-losses are ‘market orders’ – this includes closing a position via the ‘positions window’. Therefore, we highly recommend setting a limit order against your position to set a stop-loss during the overnight session.

Swing Trading Accounts: No changes. Open a swing trading account now.

Day Trading Accounts: When trading during Premarket and After-hours sessions (4 p.m. to 9:30 a.m.), your available exposure is reduced to the overnight limits listed below. Open a day trading account now.

Important: It is preferable to trade highly liquid stocks to guarantee order fills.

Standard “After-Hours” sessions end at 8:00 p.m. ET. Blue Ocean fills the “gap” from 8:00 p.m. ET until the 4:00 a.m. ET Pre-Market open. It effectively eliminates the period where traders are usually “locked out” of the market.

With 24/5 trading, you gain unmatched flexibility, with the market fitting your schedule, not Wall Street’s. Whether you work a traditional 9‑to‑5 or trade from Sydney, Tokyo, or New York, you get to access the stock market when it’s convenient for you.

Yes. You receive a dedicated real-time data feed from Blue Ocean. You will see live price action, depth, and prints specifically for the overnight session.
