Pre-Market Trading Hours
Posted on Thu 13th Dec, 2007 06:30:22 AM
I wanted to let new investors know what exactly are pre-market trading hours and when do they run.
The stock market regularly opens at 9:30 AM EST each week day less holidays. When the market is officially open that is when you see all of the regular stock trading occurring. Any market order is only good during these official market hours.
What are known as pre-market hours are hours in the morning before the stock market officially opens that investors are allowed to trade during utilizing only stock limit orders. Pre-market trading is officially from 8:00 AM EST – 9:30 AM EST.
Pre-market and post-market hours are also known as extended trading sessions.
