U.S. Options Trading Is Moving Beyond Regular Hours

From 19 Oct, Cboe is opening pre-market trading for options on selected U.S. stocks and ETFs, including $NVIDIA(NVDA.US), $Tesla(TSLA.US) and $Apple(AAPL.US). It’s part of a bigger shift: U.S. stocks are also set to trade 23 hours a day, five days a week from 6 Dec.

On Longbridge, you don't have to wait for the evening. Since 13 Oct, pre-market options open at 12 PM SGT (previously 4 PM SGT) and run until the U.S. market opens, so you can act on earnings and overnight news at lunchtime.

We've been part of this shift since Dec 2025, when Longbridge launched the world's first U.S. pre-market options trading.*

Pre-market options on Longbridge at a glance:

• Symbols: 54 U.S. stocks & ETFs, with $Bank of America(BAC.US), $Nokia Oyj(NOK.US) and $Pfizer(PFE.US) newly added
• Trade direction: buy to open, sell to close
• Fees: $0 commission & platform fees*
