Key insights
- The potential move to 23-hour Nasdaq trading raises concerns about liquidity dilution and increased retail overtrading. While offering flexibility, the always-on market might encourage reactive trading and reduce thoughtful decision-making. The impact on individual trading strategies remains uncertain, with potential downsides outweighing the benefits.
I saw that Nasdaq got approval to move toward almost 24 hour trading but it’s still not live yet
At first it sounds great more access more flexibility especially for people outside the US or anyone with a busy schedule
But the more I think about it the more questions I have
Would this actually improve liquidity or just spread it thinner across more hours
Would retail traders end up overtrading just because the market is always open
And honestly part of me feels like having some downtime is not a bad thing it forces you to step back and think instead of reacting all the time
Curious how you guys see it would this change your strategy or not really
