Pre-market trading lets you follow and act on US stock price movements before the regular trading session begins. Prices can shift overnight due to news, earnings releases, or global events, and pre-market access lets you respond to these movements early rather than waiting for the market to open.
Pre-market trading runs from 10:00 to 15:30 CEST. Please note this window may shift by one hour during daylight saving transitions, since CEST and US Eastern Time don't always change clocks on the same dates.
Pre-market prices are now integrated directly into your chart view on the web platform. This includes pre-market badges, the last traded price, and price changes, giving you a clearer, more consistent view of market activity before the opening bell.
You can activate it in five steps:
Pre-market trading is available on US stock markets, including US ETFs. It does not currently extend to other instrument types (such as options or bonds) or to other exchanges outside the US.
No, pre-market pricing is available free of charge to all clients on the web platform. Simply enable the feature under Trading Preferences as outlined above.
Yes. Pre-market pricing may differ from the official opening price once regular trading begins. You may also see reduced liquidity and increased volatility during pre-market hours compared to the regular session, so prices can move more sharply on lower trading volume.
