Webull Canada introduced extended trading hours on its platform, allowing investors in the region to trade U.S. equities overnight. The new feature enables users to access U.S. stocks and ETFs almost continuously throughout the week, reflecting rising demand for flexibility in reacting to global market events.
Overnight Trading Hours and Access
Webull Canada’s overnight session runs from 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. ET, Sunday through Friday. This addition connects with existing pre-market, regular, and after-hours sessions, creating a near 24-hour trading cycle.

“Markets don’t wait for the opening bell, and neither should investors,” said Michael Constantino, CEO of Webull Canada. “With 24/5 trading, we’re empowering Canadian investors to react to markets in real time, manage risk more effectively, and take greater control of their investing strategies, whenever opportunity strikes.”
Webull Canada sources overnight liquidity and pricing data through Blue Ocean ATS and Bruce Markets. The platform combines both feeds into a single interface, allowing users to track and trade eligible securities during overnight sessions.
Data, Liquidity, and Rollout
More than 12,000 symbols are currently available for overnight trading. The company provides level one market data at no cost, with additional data packages offered as subscriptions.
The feature has launched in beta for a limited group of users. Webull Canada plans to extend access to all eligible accounts in the near term.

The rollout adds to the platform’s existing offering, which includes commission-free trading, registered accounts such as TFSA and RRSP, and charting tools. The move aligns with a broader industry shift toward extended trading hours as platforms compete on access and execution speed.
Webull reported strong growth in the first quarter of 2026, with revenue rising 36% year-on-year to $159.9 million, driven by a surge in trading activity and higher client assets. Equity trading volumes more than doubled, while options activity and daily revenue trades also increased, reflecting strong engagement from active users.
However, the brokerage swung to a net loss of $21.7 million as operating expenses jumped 68%, largely due to higher marketing, transaction costs, and continued investment in expansion and technology.
Webull Canada’s move into 24/5 U.S. equity and ETF trading comes amid a broader industry race to keep clients active around the clock. In recent quarters, several retail platforms have rolled out overnight or near‑24‑hour access to U.S. stocks, positioning extended hours as a differentiator alongside pricing and product range.
In the past year, brokers such as IG UK and Firstrade have introduced or expanded 24/5-style access to U.S. equities, often in partnership with alternative trading systems providing overnight liquidity. IG, for example, now offers round‑the‑clock weekday trading on a basket of major U.S. names, while Firstrade has tapped Blue Ocean’s overnight venue to target so‑called night‑owl investors.
