❔ Can I Trade the Globex Open at 6:00 PM EST?

Updated over 2 months ago

Yep trading is allowed starting at 6:00 PM EST. That includes sim evaluations and funded accounts.

Just keep in mind: liquidity is usually thin right after the open, especially on Sundays or during holidays. Fills can get weird, and execution might not behave like you expect. You're free to trade during these times, but you’re doing so at your own risk.

Holiday Hours Tip:

During early market closures (like on holidays), FundedHero Futures won’t auto-close your trades it’s on you to manage your positions. If you leave a trade open and the market closes, that could breach your account, whether you’re funded or still in the evaluation phase.

So yes, you can trade just be smart about when you do it.
