Global fintech platform eToro has officially rolled out 24/5 trading on its 100 most popular U.S. stocks, giving users the ability to buy and sell equities at any time from Monday to Friday.
The move marks a significant step in eToro’s mission to modernize retail investing by eliminating traditional market hour limitations.
Starting Tuesday, users can now trade high-demand stocks—such as Alphabet, Mastercard, and Snap—outside of standard U.S. market sessions, including overnight periods. This new schedule allows for increased flexibility and real-time market access, especially for international investors operating across time zones.
The platform confirmed that all order types remain active during the extended hours, including market, stop-loss, and take-profit orders. Both new and existing positions are eligible for round-the-clock pricing updates, and the change applies to leveraged and non-leveraged trades alike—covering both long and short positions.
This expanded feature was revealed during eToro’s first-ever live product event, held on July 29 at 2 PM GMT. However, many users received notice of the feature just 30 minutes before it launched—highlighting the fast-paced rollout. During the announcement, CEO and Founder Yoni Assia celebrated the company’s progress:
“We’ve had an exceptional 18 years during which eToro has built up-to-date tools for our customers, enabling them to trade stocks around the world,” he stated.
While 24/5 access provides unmatched convenience, eToro warned users of potential challenges during off-hours trading. Liquidity tends to be lower and bid-ask spreads wider, especially during late-night sessions. As a result, stop-loss and take-profit orders may trigger unexpectedly due to increased volatility or pricing gaps.
Nonetheless, the innovation is a bold response to the growing demand for real-time, global investing access. As traditional brokers continue to operate within rigid windows, eToro’s round-the-clock model could push competitors to follow suit.
With crypto markets already operating 24/7, eToro’s decision aligns equity trading more closely with digital asset markets—bridging the gap between traditional finance and fintech innovation.
