What is the impact of after-hours trading on order execution?
After-hours trading refers to trading that occurs outside the standard market hours. Typically, this happens in the evening after the market has closed. Understanding after-hours trading is essential because it affects how your orders are executed. During after-hours, the market has lower liquidity, meaning there are fewer buyers and sellers available. This can lead to wider bid-ask spreads and an increased risk of slippage, where your order may be executed at a different price than expected.
While after-hours trading provides the opportunity to react to news and events outside regular trading hours, the lack of liquidity and volatility can impact how quickly and at what price your orders are fulfilled.
Bajaj Broking offers resources to help you navigate the risks and benefits of after-hours trading, ensuring that you make well-informed decisions.
