After-hours session
A trading period after an exchange's core session has closed. If a broker offers the asset then, check whether it uses live extended-hours pricing or another source.
Practical use
How to verify After-hours session
Read After-hours session together with Pre-market session, Core trading session, Market holiday. The comparison must preserve the exact rule, value, state, and evidence described below.
A neutral example
The interface calls After hours session five minutes, yet order history measures from server acceptance and shows 4:57 exposure. The Pre market session timeline controls comparison. The evidence must resolve the defining After hours session boundary: a symbol offered after the core exchange close may use extended-hours quotes or a different source.
Evidence path
Where to verify After-hours session
