US Stock Overnight Trading Upgraded! 10,000+ Stocks Now Available for Short Selling, Enabling 24-Hour Access to Global Markets

Published at: 2025-04-01

We've expanded our US stock overnight trading to cover 10,000+ stocks, giving investors greater flexibility and market access outside standard trading sessions. Since launching US stock overnight trading in mid-2023, the feature has gained strong user adoption, with cumulative annual successful orders exceeding 1.8 million. This upgrade not only showcases our technological innovation capabilities in the fintech field but also reinforces our leading position among fintech brokers.

Expanded stocks, get more investment flexibility

We remain committed to delivering cross-border trading efficiency for global investors. Our upgraded overnight trading now enables investors to trade after regular US market hours. The overnight session operates from 20:00 to 03:50 ET, corresponding to 08:00 to 15:50 HKT during daylight saving time, and from 09:00 to 16:50 HKT during standard time. This expansion allows investors to trade a more diverse range of stocks during the overnight session, enabling more flexibility in capturing global market opportunities.

It's also worth mentioning that our US stock overnight trading not only supports buy orders but also enables investors to short sell. This bidirectional trading capability allows investors to implement shorting strategies based on market trends, effectively hedge risks, and seize profit opportunities amid market fluctuations. Currently, we are one of the few Hong Kong brokers offering both long and short trading during the US overnight session, significantly enhancing the functionality and market appeal of this feature.

Multi-technical safeguards ensuring trading stability

To ensure the efficiency and stability of trading services, our US stock overnight trading integrates multiple upstream trading systems. By reducing single-point failure risks, enhancing system redundancy, and enabling rapid switching capabilities, we effectively address unexpected technical challenges. For instance, when an upstream system encounters failures or maintenance, we can immediately switch to alternative access points to ensure uninterrupted trading services. Furthermore, our strategy of decentralizing technical risks and distributing system loads enables the platform to handle market volatility or surges in trading volume, minimizing service disruptions and ensuring the smooth execution of every transaction. From the user's trading experience, our overnight trading not only boasts technical superiority but demonstrates significant competitiveness at the trading level. While market competitors face trade rollbacks or outages during system failures, our multi-upstream architecture ensures the continuity and stability of services, directly enhancing user trading experience and trust. This efficient responsiveness reduces potential trading losses while strengthening our market competitiveness.

We understand the need for flexible trading hours and have continuously optimized and expanded our overnight trading function. The expansion to cover over 10,000 US stocks is an important milestone in our product upgrade, while delivering safer, more stable, and efficient trading remains our unwavering commitment. We will persist in our efforts to provide investors with comprehensive trading experiences.

"Reducing trading costs for users" has always been our goal. Our lifetime commission-free policy for Hong Kong and US stocks have saved users over USD 20 million in trading fees over the past year, significantly improving investors' returns and trading experiences. The expansion of the US stock overnight trading feature, combined with our commission-free policy, will create even greater market opportunities and investment value for investors.
