Weekend investing
You can still place stock orders when the markets are closed.
Traditionally, the markets are open from 9:30 AM-4 PM US Eastern time (ET) during regular business days (Monday-Friday, except holidays). But with extended-hours trading and the Robinhood 24 Hour Market, you can execute trades from 8 PM ET Sunday until 8 PM ET Friday, with some restrictions. Orders placed outside these hours will be queued to process when the market opens on the next trading day.
Check out Extended-hours trading and Robinhood 24 Hour Market for more details about how you can trade during regular, extended, and overnight market hours.
Our app will show you the equivalent Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or British Summer Time (BST) that matches up with the US Eastern times for trading hours. For example, 9:30 AM ET is 5 hours behind GMT and BST, so it'll be 2:30 PM GMT or BST.
There are additional risks to extended-hours trading. Check out Risk factors to consider for more details.
