Longbridge's "US Overnight Trading" brings a new trading session for investors, allowing them to continue trading after the regular trading hours of the US stock market, catering to the changing dynamics of international markets and the needs of investors in different time zones. The overnight trading session is from 8:00 PM to 3:50 AM Eastern Time, corresponding to 8:00 AM to 3:50 PM Hong Kong Time (during Eastern Daylight Time) or adjusted by one hour during Eastern Standard Time, from 9:00 AM to 4:50 PM Hong Kong Time.
