Introducing pre-market trading! ☕️

Freetrade Chat 🔥
1

Hey everyone,

We’ve launched pre-market trading :tada:!

Standard and Plus subscribers can now trade in the pre-market session from 9 AM to 2:30 PM GMT (4 AM to 9:30 AM ET), giving you more time to react to market-moving news in the US market. Please note that these timings will change as countries transition to and from daylight saving time.

Currently, pre-market trading is available for a select group of US stocks. You can find them in a dedicated Extended hours trading collection.

When trading outside normal market hours, it’s important to be aware of the risks involved, such as lower liquidity, higher volatility, and wider spreads compared to regular market hours. We’ve created an FAQ page to answer any questions you might have.

Best,
Freetrade Team

Oh Freetrade you tinkers! There’s always radio silence between updates and then you pull something like this out of the bag, what a great surprise!

Congratulations to @Viktor and the whole team for bringing this to Freetrade :cow::kiss:

Well, there’s no need to announce everything to competitors! :grin:

Pre-trading isn’t something I would use but some people were asking for it, so well done Freetrade for delivering.

Just tried to buy some TSLA as a test - says order will be placed at 3pm.

Is this supposed to be working for everyone now?
It’s a cool feature but I don’t have the Extended Hours Order type in my order mask.

Edit: it works now

I also didn’t see this live yet until I updated my app. Now I can see the new pre-market features (plus a promise that after-market is also being worked on).

This is good for UK people who will be awake during premarket hours anyway, and can potentially react to news before the US has woken up properly. Low liquidity tho so I’d be a bit wary using it much

Was able to buy a Tesla share just now from the web version. It looks like the android app doesn’t currently have the option to purchase pre-market shares

16

@Patryk excited to try this, any idea when it’s rolling out to android?

Update:

Strange, tried it on the web which signed me out on mobile, when I signed back in again it pre market suddenly appeared.

Hey! It’s available for both iOS and Android users. If it’s not working on your phone, try updating the app to the latest version – that should do the trick. Cheers

18

Thanks, I had the latest version, found I had to sign out and break in again

I’d be very careful trading pre / after market hours on a platform that does not quote both sides or otherwise disclose the spreads.

Is this working properly for anyone? Seemed to work for a few days and now just gets stuck on a weird graph. Example attached.

Hey @lizmcp , good spot - we’ve found a bug with our pricing following market holidays (and only after market holidays, not weekends etc.). We’re working on it with our pricing provider, but this will resolve itself for tomorrow’s pre-market session!
