Why Trade US Shares CFDs Around the Clock?
24-hour trading can provide traders with several practical benefits:
-
- Greater flexibility over when to trade
Longer trading hours allow traders to place and manage trades at times that better suit their schedules, rather than being limited mainly to the regular US market session.
- Greater flexibility over when to trade
-
- Respond to market-moving developments
Earnings, company announcements, economic data and global developments can affect US shares outside regular market hours. 24-hour trading gives traders chances to respond as these events unfold.
- Respond to market-moving developments
- Manage positions and risk outside regular market hours
Price can continue to move after the regular market closes and before it opens. Access to additional trading sessions allows traders to adjust or close positions as market conditions change, rather than necessarily waiting for the next regular session.
What Are the Risks of 24-Hour Shares CFD Trading?
Liquidity can vary significantly across trading sessions. As a general guide:
| Trading Session | Typical Relative Liquidity | What This May Mean for Traders |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Market | Highest | Generally tighter spreads and deeper market liquidity |
| Pre-Market | Medium to Lower | Wider spreads and potentially sharper price movements around market-moving events |
| Post-Market | Medium to Lower | Similar liquidity and execution risks to pre-market trading |
| Extended Hours | Typically Lowest | May see the widest spreads and greater price sensitivity to market-moving events |
Actual liquidity varies by share, market conditions and news flow. Lower liquidity can result in wider bid-ask spreads, greater slippage — the difference between the expected price and the actual execution price — and sharper price movements, particularly around market-moving events. These effects may be more pronounced during extended-hours trading, when fewer buyers and sellers may be available at a given price.
US Shares CFDs are also leveraged products, meaning both gains and losses can be magnified. Traders should consider the liquidity and market conditions of each session when managing positions and orders.
Final Thoughts
24-hour US Shares CFD trading gives traders broader access to selected US-listed shares across the available trading sessions. Trading conditions can still vary throughout the day, and lower liquidity outside the regular market session may result in wider spreads, greater slippage and sharper price movements. Leverage can also magnify both gains and losses.
24-hour trading for selected US Share CFDs is coming soon to NOVA, giving traders greater flexibility to place orders, respond to market-moving developments and manage positions beyond the regular US market session, all with zero commission.
