New 24-Hour CFD Trading on Pepperstone

Retail Forex and CFD broker Pepperstone announced the launch of 24-hour CFD trading on US shares today (Wednesday), in collaboration with cTrader, MetaTrader, and TradingView. This new service allows traders to respond to market-moving events and news at any time, without being restricted by standard market hours.

Stock markets typically operate within limited daily sessions. However, crucial events, such as corporate earnings reports or geopolitical developments, often take place outside these regular trading hours.

Pepperstone's new 24-hour CFD trading on US shares allows traders to seize these opportunities as they arise, mitigating the risk of gapping when exchanges reopen.

Pepperstone highlighted that their partnership with cTrader, TradingView, and MetaTrader advances their goal of providing traders with innovative and valuable trading solutions. They noted that one of the biggest risks equity traders face is gapping risk when exchanges reopen, and that 24-hour CFD trading on US shares helps mitigate this risk.

This service includes popular stocks from tech giants such as Nvidia, Tesla, and Apple. Fees start from $0.02 per share, with no minimum commission for the 24-hour CFD trading on US shares.

This move comes as the New York Stock Exchange considers round-the-clock trading, inspired by the success of the cryptocurrency market and the increased accessibility of trading platforms via personal computers and mobile devices.

Spotware Systems, the company behind cTrader, stated that this initiative aligns perfectly with their vision to provide traders with the tools and flexibility needed to succeed in today's dynamic financial markets. They expressed pride in supporting this launch on the cTrader platform and anticipated a positive impact on traders worldwide.

Although other brokers have previously introduced extended hours for stock CFD trading, Pepperstone claims to be the first to offer this service on both the cTrader and TradingView platforms, with availability also on MT5.

Last year, eToro introduced new CFDs for extended-hours stock trading, and Revolut launched Trading Pro, enabling advanced European traders to trade after regular market hours.
