We keep on adding new features to help you dive deeper into markets. Today, we’re introducing the latest improvement to the Paper Trading tool — trading during extended market hours, including pre-market and after-hours sessions, and it’s available now.
This update makes simulated trading more realistic, letting you test strategies dynamically, and prepare for diverse market scenarios. Let’s see what the deal is.
How it works
The new feature is available for limit orders placed on symbols with extended trading sessions. You’ll find new checkboxes in the Order panel:
- Outside RTH. Enables order execution outside regular trading hours.
- Outside RTH Take Profit. Allows executing Take Profit orders during extended hours.
For other types of orders, only the Outside RTH Take Profit option is available.
Additionally, the trading panel now includes a new Instruction column. Orders that can be executed during extended trading sessions will be marked as Outside RTH, making them easy to track and manage.
Benefits
The new feature will come in handy on many levels.
- Gain flexibility in choosing the timing for order execution.
- Find new opportunities to maximize trading time.
- Increase trading efficiency, especially with Take Profit orders outside standard hours.
With the latest update, you can better adapt to the markets’ ever-changing conditions, learn to respond to breaking news, and prepare for real-life trading, so we are confident that traders looking to refine their skills will gain a truly valuable tool.
