“By extending Overnight Trading to thousands of US stocks and ETFs, our global clients have a greater choice of what and when to trade at almost any time. When clients choose Overnight Trading to place an order, the IB SmartRoutingSM technology automatically routes the order to the optimal Overnight Trading destination.”
Interactive Brokers, a global automated electronic broker, has announced a significant expansion of its Overnight Trading Hours service. This enhancement enables clients to trade a comprehensive list of over 10,000 US stocks and ETFs, offering the flexibility to engage with a wider range of US equities almost 24 hours a day, five days a week.
The move builds upon Interactive Brokers’ pioneering introduction of Overnight Trading on US stocks and ETFs. This service is particularly advantageous for clients in Asia and Europe, who can now access a broader array of US equities during their local market hours. To enhance the liquidity for Overnight Trading, Interactive Brokers has connected to the Blue Ocean ATS.
