STARTRADER has expanded its US equities range with 85 new products: 42 24/5 US Stock CFDs live now, and 43 24/7 US Stock CFDs arriving 27 July 2026. Here is what is available, how it works, and why it matters.
Trading US Names Beyond Exchange Hours
STARTRADER has extended trading in major US stocks far beyond standard exchange hours. Across two new ranges of US Stock CFDs, clients can now trade some of the biggest names on the US market through the evening, overnight, and into the weekend, long after the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ have closed for the day.
The expansion is substantial. On 22 July 2026, STARTRADER launched 42 new 24/5 US Stock CFDs, extending near-continuous weekday coverage across some of the most closely followed names in global markets. From 27 July 2026, it adds 43 new 24/7 US Stock CFDs, available Monday through Sunday, 00:00 to 24:00 (GMT+3 platform time), with no gaps and no market-hour restrictions. Together the two launches bring 85 new US equity products to STARTRADER’s platform, spanning technology, semiconductors, energy, healthcare, finance, industrials, defence, and emerging sectors.
STARTRADER has built the two ranges for different needs. Its 24/5 range broadens weekday access across a wide cross-section of large-cap US names, the exposure most clients carry through the working week. Its 24/7 range concentrates on the stocks most exposed to off-hours moves, including the AI and semiconductor names whose prices can react sharply to news at any hour. Between them, they keep STARTRADER’s clients connected to the US market on a near-permanent basis, whichever names they follow.
The 24/5 US Stock CFD Range
How 24/5 access works
STARTRADER’s 24/5 range runs Monday through Friday, giving clients near-continuous weekday access that reaches well beyond standard exchange hours. That extra window matters most for clients in time zones where US market hours fall outside the working day, letting them act as the market moves, without waiting for a distant exchange to open. STARTRADER launched these 42 instruments on 22 July 2026.
The names in the 24/5 range
STARTRADER’s 24/5 selection spans five broad sectors, covering a cross-section of globally recognised, institutionally followed names:
Technology and Defence: Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco Systems, IBM, Texas Instruments, Applied Materials, Qualcomm, Micron Technology, and Advanced Micro Devices, among others.
Energy: ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and ExxonMobil, names tied to global energy infrastructure and the industrial economy.
Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals: Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, AbbVie, Amgen, Merck, and UnitedHealth Group, spanning established pharmaceutical names and high-growth healthcare platforms.
Finance and Consumer: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Mastercard, Visa, Berkshire Hathaway, Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, McDonald’s, Starbucks, and Procter & Gamble, the anchors of the global consumer and financial system.
Emerging and Innovation: SpaceX, Newmont Corporation, Comcast, Verizon, and Caterpillar, spanning aerospace, communications, mining, and industry.
The 24/7 US Stock CFD Range
How 24/7 access works
STARTRADER’s 24/7 range goes further, removing the concept of market hours altogether. Available Monday through Sunday, 00:00 to 24:00 (GMT+3 platform time), these instruments let clients trade any time of the week, including Saturday and Sunday, and respond to developments the moment they happen. That reach earns its place because the events that move a stock rarely align with exchange schedules: a central bank statement on a Friday evening, an earnings release after the closing bell, or a geopolitical shift over the weekend can all reset sentiment while exchanges are closed, and STARTRADER’s 24/7 range means its clients are never forced to wait. STARTRADER adds these 43 instruments on 27 July 2026.
The names in the 24/7 range
STARTRADER has built this range around the names most sensitive to off-hours developments, companies whose valuations react most sharply to news that does not observe exchange schedules:
Artificial Intelligence and Semiconductors: NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, AMD, Broadcom, ASML, ARM Holdings, Qualcomm, Marvell Technology, Applied Materials, Credo Technology, Intel, Micron Technology, Lumentum Holdings, Coherent Corp, Applied Optoelectronics, AXT Inc, SanDisk, and Western Digital, covering the full hardware stack behind the AI economy, from chip design and manufacturing equipment to optical communications and memory.
Platform Economy and Software: Meta, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, Oracle, Adobe, and Palantir, the companies building the software, cloud platforms, and AI-driven applications that sit on top of the semiconductor layer.
Finance and Consumer: JPMorgan Chase, Visa, Berkshire Hathaway, Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, Eli Lilly, and Walt Disney, established names across banking, payments, retail, healthcare, and entertainment.
Emerging Sectors: Circle Internet Group, AST SpaceMobile, Tesla, Nebius Group, Nokia, Corning, and Cisco, covering institutional digital finance, satellite connectivity, electric vehicles, AI cloud infrastructure, and communications hardware.
How This Fits STARTRADER’s Broader Product Direction
From schedule-driven to always-on
The 24/5 and 24/7 ranges change the shape of access itself. Where a conventional equity product is defined by the exchange’s clock, these follow the client’s, ready whenever a position needs opening or closing. That shift matters for a client base spread across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, where the US trading day often lands in the middle of the night. Building for continuous availability is how STARTRADER keeps its offering aligned with how, and when, its clients trade.
Built on a regulated, multi-asset foundation
Continuous access only counts if the platform behind it is solid. These 85 products sit within a multi-asset offering of more than 1,000 instruments spanning forex, global shares, indices, and commodities, all traded as CFDs. STARTRADER operates under five regulators, the CMA in the UAE, ASIC in Australia, the FSCA in South Africa, the FSA in Seychelles, and the FSC in Mauritius, and holds client money in segregated accounts with negative balance protection. Multilingual support in more than 20 languages keeps that access global in practice, and specific protections and conditions vary by the entity a client registers with, so it is worth confirming the terms that apply in a given region. With a client base spread across many time zones, STARTRADER continues to widen access while stripping out the friction around it, building the next phase of an offering designed for an international audience.
Where Access Goes Next
The 24/5 and 24/7 ranges are the newest expansion of STARTRADER’s access, and the work continues. As global markets grow more interconnected and market-moving events increasingly ignore the trading calendar, STARTRADER intends to keep closing the gap between clients and the markets they follow, whether that gap is a US brokerage requirement, an exchange’s opening bell, or a weekend. The direction is clear: access shaped around the client’s world, with the next set of names and capabilities ready as the market calls for them.
Frequently Asked Questions
