Overnight Trading
Trade 22 hours a day
Act on market news, on your schedule. With Questrade, you can trade from Sunday 8pm to Friday 8pm, five days a week.
Why trade overnight?
News isn’t 9-5. Market changes aren’t either. Overnight trading lets you buy and sell and outside the traditional market hours, turning any time of day into one you can profit from.
