After-Hours Trading

Description

After-hours trading takes place outside of regular trading hours. In the US, typically after-hours trading happens between 16:00 and 20:00 ET – and provides investors with an opportunity to react to news and events that occur after the market closes.

Understanding trading time zones is important, as after-hours trading is conducted on Electronic Communication Networks (ECNs) and often happens in reaction to earnings reports, which can trigger price volatility.
