I’ve noticed more platforms offering trading outside normal US hours lately, some even close to round the clock during the week. I’ve personally never used it. My assumption has always been that spreads are wider and liquidity is thinner, so it’s better to wait. But then earnings happen, macro news drops, and I sometimes wonder if I’m being too rigid.
For those who’ve actually used extended hours access, did it genuinely improve your ability to manage positions? Or is it mostly a feature that sounds better than it works in practice?
