## How the Tiger Trade Sessions Work

[ Tiger Brokers](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0004l7e/tiger-brokers) runs two extended sessions: a pre-market Global Trading Hours window from 7:30 to 9:25 a.m. ET and a post-close Curb session from 4:00 to 4:15 p.m. ET. Orders route directly to US exchanges rather than through an over-the-counter market-maker model, which the company says is designed to support deeper liquidity and more transparent pricing. Only limit orders are accepted outside regular hours.

Users reach the feature through the existing options tab on each eligible stock's page in Tiger Trade, with real-time US options quotes during the sessions. After updating the app, a user selects a limit order and chooses the "GTH+RTH+Curb" trading-hours setting. Clients new to options can practise on a US$1,000,000 demo account before trading.

"Pre-market and post-close options trading, combined with direct exchange access, lets our clients act in the names they trade most without waiting for the regular open, so they can adjust positions and manage risk more flexibly," said Wu Tianhua, Founder and CEO of Tiger Brokers. Rob Hocking, Global Head of Derivatives at Cboe Global Markets, said the extended sessions "now give Tiger Brokers clients in eligible jurisdictions access to some of the most actively traded single-stock options."
