Key insights
- STARTRADER has launched 24/5 trading on 20 US stocks, joining a growing trend of brokers offering extended market access. While this increases trading flexibility, the impact on overall US equity market movements is likely limited. The 5:1 leverage during off-hours aims to support liquidity, but the overall effect on market volume and price discovery remains to be seen. Nasdaq's potential entry into 24/5 trading could amplify this trend.

The new launch enables traders to access leading US stocks beyond standard market hours with greater flexibility and continuity.
STARTRADER has introduced 24/5 trading on 20 of the most actively traded US stocks. The new instruments, identified by a ".24H" suffix under a dedicated US.24H security group, are now live across STARTRADER’s trading platforms.
The launch of this product comes in response to the global demand for extended hours and broader market access. With exchanges such as Nasdaq preparing to offer 24/5 US equity trading and crypto platforms increasingly listing tokenized US stocks, STARTRADER joins a select group of brokers offering this capability, positioning itself at the forefront of this market development.
In addition to extended market access, 24/5 US stocks are offered with 5:1 leverage to support more stable liquidity during off-hours trading.
Clients seeking higher leverage can continue to trade standard US stock products at up to 33:1. This dual offering allows STARTRADER to cater to different trading strategies while maintaining a balanced risk environment.
