    A company called 24 exchange, with 23 hours of operation, from 4am to 7pm. 😂

    If there’s pre-hours trading and post-hours trading then it’s already 24 hours. Regular people just aren’t rich enough to use it.

      Any retail trader can trade pre or post market, it has nothing to do with how much money you have. It will however depend on if your broker allows it.

      There are no market makers involved during those periods and so there is very low liquidity and unless you really know what you are doing it’s a really bad idea.

    Uh, sorry to tell you, but that’s not 23 hours. 4 a.m. to 7 p.m. is 15 hours, not 23. I will say, though, that that is better than what we currently have. So, at least it’s an improvement.

      That can be expanded to 8:00 p.m. ET on Sunday through 7:00 p.m. ET on Friday, with a one-hour pause each day, once the exchange clears some final hurdles with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
