The introduction of Extended Hours trading has been announced by Vested Finance, a well-known US investing platform. Investors now have access to an additional 9.5 hours of trading per trading day thanks to this feature, giving them greater flexibility and the chance to place transactions when it is most convenient for them.

Investors can respond more quickly to significant events outside of regular trading hours with extended hours trading, such as responses to earnings announcements or news from other countries’ markets. By using this feature, investors will be able to profit from price changes when the US markets are closed.

Investors should be mindful of the risks that come with extended hour trading, including decreased trading volume and more price volatility, which can make it more difficult to close trades at advantageous pricing.

Viram Shah, CEO of Vested Finance, says, “We are thrilled to introduce Extended Hours trading on Vested. One of the key issues our customers in India’s face is the inability to place trades during the day. With Extended Hours, customers can now execute transactions from 1:30 PM IST, and we believe that this will give them much-needed flexibility in creating their US portfolios.”
