Questrade Online Brokerage Introduction


Updated on Sep 7, 2022: Questrade has extended their trading hours on U.S. exchanges to 8:00 pm ET on weekdays (excluding holidays).

  • The order must be placed as a Limit order

  • Choose GTEM (good ‘til extended market) as the duration
BTW, Questrade Pre-market trading on U.S. exchanges is also available between 7 am and 9:30 am ET—please note the steps listed above are also required for pre-market trades.
