Webull Opens Extended-Hours Options Trading for 24 Stocks and Five ETFs

Webull has opened weekday premarket and postmarket options sessions for eligible U.S. customers, expanding access to contracts on 24 stocks and five ETFs beyond regular market hours.

The morning session runs from 7:30 a.m. to 9:25 a.m. ET (11:30 to 13:25 UTC). The afternoon session runs from 4 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. ET (20:00 to 20:15 UTC). Availability varies by symbol and contract.

The eligible list includes options on Apple, Amazon, NVIDIA and Tesla among 24 single stocks. The five ETFs are the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) and Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF).

Webull’s standard options session spans 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET (13:30 to 20:00 UTC), though some symbols already trade until 4:15 p.m. ET (20:15 UTC). The added evening window applies to eligible contracts whose trading day otherwise ends at 4 p.m.

Only limit orders are accepted during the extra sessions. Customers can use single-leg and multi-leg strategies, while order types tied to stock trades are excluded.

The expansion follows similar launches by Cboe and NYSE American on Oct. 19. Cboe’s program covers options on 24 stocks and five ETFs. NYSE American’s selected contracts include ETFs and large-cap technology stocks; the exchange’s extended-hours options launch introduced the additional sessions.

“Expanding options trading into pre- and post-market sessions is a natural progression in the evolution of our platform,” Webull Group President and U.S. CEO Anthony Denier said.

Webull expects to add select index options and extend availability to additional markets over time, without a stated schedule. Its guidance cautions that quotes displayed during the 4 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. ET window may not reflect prices at which trades can be executed.
