Quick Summary

Questrade has introduced extended trading hours for equity options before and after regular market sessions, allowing Canadian investors to trade based on pre-market news events without waiting until 9:30 am ET. This service is facilitated by Cboe's new extended-hours trading program in North America, making Questrade one of the first Canadian brokerages to offer such flexibility. The move aims to provide traders with more options and better price execution during periods when market volatility is high due to significant news releases or economic data.

Story summary

Questrade, a leading digital financial platform in Canada, announced on October 23, 2026, that it will offer pre-market and post-market trading for equity options through Cboe's extended trading hours. This allows investors in North America to trade select individual stocks and ETFs before the regular market opens at 9:30 am ET. Regular trading sessions run from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm ET, Monday to Friday, but significant market-moving news often occurs outside these times. Previously, traders could either engage in less liquid pre-market stock trading or wait until the opening bell when prices might surge unexpectedly. The new extended options trading provides an alternative for responding immediately to earnings reports and economic data without waiting for the regular session start.

Narrative

Until now, a trader who wanted to respond to an earnings report or economic release had two main choices: trade the underlying stock in the pre-market, when fewer buyers and sellers can make it harder to get the price they want, or wait for the open, when prices can jump.
