Charles Schwab, a leader in investing and trading with $10.10 trillion in total client assets that facilitates approximately six million daily average trades globally, today announced the launch of broad access to an expanded range of securities in the overnight trading session following a series of successful pilots at the end of 2024. Now, all Schwab clients globally can trade an expanded list of securities including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 stocks 24 hours a day, five days a week (24/5), via the thinkorswim® platform suite.Ameritrade, which was acquired by Schwab in 2020, pioneered 24/5 trading in 2018 as the first U.S. retail broker-dealer to make it available to traders. Schwab began piloting expanded overnight access with a small group of clients in November 2024 and has gradually expanded the reach in the intervening months in preparation for broad availability.James Kostulias, Managing Director and Head of Trading Services at Charles Schwab, said: “We are proud to have been at the forefront of overnight trading several years ago and that we are continuing to evolve and enhance our capabilities and platforms to meet the needs of today’s modern traders.“Each day, Schwab facilitates about twice the trades of any competitor that shares that figure publicly, and we know that expanding access to overnight trading to our millions of clients is a significant milestone not just for Schwab, but for our industry. In consideration of Schwab’s leadership position and our ‘through clients’ eyes’ strategy, we have worked hard to combine the power of our world-class trading platforms, specialised 24-hour service and support, and tailored education to deliver an overnight trading experience that reflects the unique dynamics and potential risks this offering can present, while empowering clients to trade in the ways that suit them and their lifestyle best.”Insights from Schwab’s recent 24/5 expansion pilotDuring the expanded 24/5 pilot period, which ran from November 2024 through January 2025, a small group of clients were able to trade between the hours of 01:00-09:00 GMT/20:00-04:00 ET.
