Order Entry for Overnight Trading

< 1 min read

Traders can expect the same order entry experience as daytime trading. Below are the order details that need to be updated (such as in a hotkey) for the overnight session:

  • Order Types: Only limit orders are available during the overnight session
  • Routes: During the overnight session, go to Trade->Route Status to see which routes are active or contact your broker to learn which routes will accept overnight orders. All other routes will be disabled per your broker’s existing schedule (i.e. disabled after regular market hours or at the end of the post-market session)
  • TIF: the TIF NIGHT is required for all orders during the overnight session
  • Price: hotkeys that use Price=BID/ASK will need to be changed to Price=L2BID/L2ASK to use the top of the overnight books until Level 1 is available for the overnight session (expected December 2026, pending exchange updates)

Note: DAS will not include the overnight session in GTC/GTC+ orders.
