eToro enables its clients to track extended hours performance of US stocks
Online broker eToro introduces a long-awaited and needed tool that is now available on its platform: Extended market hours for US stocks.
This new feature will help you follow the performance of your chosen stocks and the overall US market out of hours. Please note that this feature will NOT enable you to invest out of market hours.
By using this new feature, traders will see:
- Portfolio Impact: It shows you the expected % impact that the pre-market movements will have on your portfolio when the US Market opens. Also, this value takes copy positions into account. It is calculated by the weighted average of your positions by value % invested, the extended hours’ performance, direction (buy or sell), and any leverage that you might have.
- Top Movers: These assets have seen the biggest changes in gains and losses since the market closed. You can toggle between your Portfolio, Watchlist, and Market Movers.
- US Market opening LIVE countdown
- Performance: Previous Close: Price ($) of the asset at the last market close and the price performance (%) on the previous market day. Extended Hours Data: Up-to-date price and % change in the asset’s value during off-hours since market close.
- Consensus: Analysts’ price targets and recommendations, which eToro shows on a per-asset basis, like “Strong Buy”, “Hold”, and “Moderate Sell”.
- Daily Coverage/News Sentiment: Covers all the news around a specific asset on the last day, and attributes the Daily “News Sentiment” around a stock.
- Trade: Non-US users can place an out-of-hour order. The order will be queued and executed upon market opening on that trading day or the next trading day. Please note that eToro does not offer extended hours trading.
Traders can access this feature through the Home Touchpoint by clicking on “Explore Extended Hours” or “Portfolio Impact.”
