CFI Financial Group has announced the extension of trading hours, now offering pre-market trading from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM ET and post-market trading from 4:00 PM to 4:59 PM ET. This new feature allows traders to react promptly to market-moving news and earnings reports outside regular trading hours.
Advantages of Extended Trading Hours
The extended hours provide several benefits, including the ability to trade US-listed shares before and after the standard market session. This gives traders the opportunity to capitalize on unique market conditions and news events that occur outside the usual trading times. The new trading schedule on the CFI platform is as follows:
- Pre-market: 8:00 AM—9:30 AM ET (3:00 PM—4:30 PM CFI platform time)
- Post-market: 4:00 PM—4:59 PM ET (11:00 PM—11:59 PM CFI platform time)
CFI Financial highlighted that the added flexibility enhances traders’ ability to manage positions and risks more effectively.
Expansion and Integration
This week, CFI Financial made a strategic move into the Azerbaijani market by acquiring AzFinance İnveŞtisiya Şirkəti. The rebranding of AzFinance to CFI is scheduled for later this year, aiming to expand CFI’s offerings in the region. This rebranding will integrate AzFinance’s services into CFI’s platform, providing a broader range of financial products such as equities, commodities, and currencies.
In addition, CFI Group has joined TradingView as an integrated broker, enabling users to link their brokerage accounts and trade directly through the TradingView platform. This integration comes amid significant financial growth for CFI Group, which saw a 24% increase in trading volume in the first quarter of 2024, reaching $557 billion.
