CFD broker STARTRADER has rolled out 24/5 trading for 20 of the most traded US stocks, giving clients access to markets beyond standard exchange hours. The new instruments, marked with a “.24H” suffix under a dedicated US.24H group, are now available on the broker’s trading platforms.

The firm joins other CFD brokers, such as Pepperstone, IG, BlackBull Markets and Deriv that have also rolled out 24/5 US share CFD trading in the past couple of years. Similar 24/5 US equity access is already available at platforms such as Robinhood, Webull and Charles Schwab’s thinkorswim.

Flexible Options and Regulated Access

According to the company, the latest move responds to growing demand for extended equity trading, following similar developments across major exchanges and digital asset platforms. Nasdaq has indicated plansfor 24/5 trading in the future, as global investors seek continuous access to US markets.

According to STARTRADER Chief Executive Peter Karsten, the approach aims to provide options that suit different trading needs within a regulated environment.

Brokers and exchanges are extending trading hours because client behaviour is shifting toward “always-on” markets, even if most volume still concentrates in the core session. Investors who grew used to crypto and digital platforms now expect to react to news, earnings and macro releases in real time, including from outside the US, where time zones make regular Wall Street hours less convenient.

Data from Capital.com and eToro show that pre- and post-market activity has risen sharply, with up to 40% of some platforms’ retail clients trading outside the main session and roughly one‑third of eToro’s December 2025 stock volume occurring in extended hours.

Always-On Traders Push Brokers to Stretch Market Hours

Early this year, eToro also expanded its 24/5 offering by enabling round-the-clock weekday trading on a select group of Smart Portfolios, including BigTech, Four-Horsemen, Magnificent-7 and Buybacks. The move built on its earlier step into extended-hours access for US-listed stocks and aimed to give users more flexibility in managing those themed baskets from Sunday evening through to the Friday close.

Robinhood offers a “24 Hour Market” on select US stocks and ETFs from Sunday evening to Friday evening. Webull has rolled out 24‑hour US stock and ETF trading in key markets, including popular names like Tesla and Nvidia.

Charles Schwab (via thinkorswim) provides 24/5 trading on more than 1,100 US stocks and ETFs, including all S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Dow 30 constituents.
