At Hapi, you can now buy and sell U.S. market stocks 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday, beyond traditional market hours.
How does it work?
24/5 Trading allows you to operate beyond regular market hours. Instead of only being able to trade between 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. (ET), you can now buy or sell at different times throughout the day, Monday through Friday.

How to trade with 24/5 Trading
To trade outside regular hours, go to the asset you want to buy or sell, tap Trade, and select a limit order or stop limit order (valid for the day or until canceled, up to 90 days).
👉 If you are during regular market hours: You can place a limit or stop limit order to execute when price conditions are met. It can be valid for the day or until canceled.
👉 If you are outside market hours: You can place a limit or stop limit order that will execute when price conditions are met, subject to available liquidity.
Inside the app, the flow is clear:
On the asset you will see messages such as:
“24/5 Trading available”
“Market closed – 24/5 Trading”
When creating an order, you can choose:
Market hours
24/5 Trading
Before confirming, you will see a full summary:
Estimated amount
Closing cost
Total
Selected session
👉 This allows you to clearly understand when your order will execute and what cost will apply before confirming.
Order execution
When you place an order in 24/5 Trading, you are submitting a limit order, which will only execute if there is a counterparty willing to trade at your price or better.
Keep in mind:
A limit order may not find a counterparty and may not execute
It may be partially executed
The closing cost may appear as a range while the order is pending
The order will only execute at the limit price or better
Also note that in the 24/5 market there may be lower liquidity and higher volatility, which can lead to wider spreads and price differences. For this reason, this is the only type of order available during these hours.
