Wall St extended hours risks
Outside regular hours, there are usually fewer buyers and sellers – which can lead to:
Lower liquidity
Slower execution times
Wider price spreads
More volatility
These effects can be even more pronounced when price-sensitive updates hit the market. Many trades in these sessions come from large institutions looking to reposition quickly.
This means prices can swing more sharply – and you might not always get the price you expect.
Extended Hours trading isn’t for everyone. Consider your personal goals and risk tolerance before using it, and read our full risk disclaimers.
