How does after hour trading work?
In: Economics
The markets never actually ‘close’ per se after hours, like a store would close its doors and locking up. The store is always open. However, after normal hours, there aren’t many customers or sales, almost everyone goes home for a the night, so there isn’t a lot happening, they also only may let certain people in after hours in the store. Technically anyone can get it, but it can be a bit harder to deal with getting into the store after hours.
But for practical purposes, if you can trade after hours, its no different than trading during normal hours, there is just a lot less people trading then, which can make actually making a trade harder.
