Moomoo Expands Options Trading Hours with Pre-Market and Post-Close Sessions

JERSEY CITY, N.J., Oct. 19, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Moomoo, a leading global investment and trading platform, has expanded its options trading hours to include premarket and post-close sessions, giving investors additional flexibility to manage their portfolios outside traditional trading hours. The new sessions, working in conjunction with Cboe, will be available for options on 25 stocks and five ETFs, starting from 7:30 to 9:25 a.m. ET and from 4:00 to 4:15 p.m. ET.

The premarket trading session will allow investors to respond to early-morning earnings announcements, economic reports, and developments in overnight and international markets before the regular U.S. trading day begins. This will enable them to adjust existing positions, hedge portfolio exposure, or establish new positions based on these developments. The post-close session provides an additional window to respond to news released shortly after the closing bell, giving investors more control over when they respond to market events.

Moomoo unifies these capabilities with educational resources to help retail investors develop more informed strategies and manage their portfolios. Moomoo’s Options Engine, a paid subscription service, offers features that design, simulate, and automate options trading strategies with virtual risk modeling, institutional activity tracking, and no-code development tools. Through Moomoo’s Options Strategy Builder, users can run scenario analysis and payoff visualizations to translate market views into strategies and evaluate potential outcomes before trading. Extended options trading hours complement these tools, granting investors additional flexibility to put their research into practice as market conditions change.

Trusted by over 31 million users worldwide, Moomoo’s platform brings together professional-grade analytics, investor education tools, and multi-asset investing. Supporting extended options trading hours advances Moomoo’s commitment to giving investors more choice in how and when they manage portfolios and pursue their investing goals. The extended hours trading may involve lower liquidity, greater volatility, wider spreads, reduced market visibility, and execution risk. Orders may not be executed or may not receive the best available price.

Moomoo’s Options Engine is a paid subscription service ($3.99/mo or $39.90/yr; auto-renews) with a subscription fee automatically reducing to $0.99/mo when account assets exceed $1,000 at the time of billing. Available to eligible Moomoo Financial Inc. ("MFI") brokerage account holders, rates and features are subject to change. Other terms and conditions apply.
