BTW, Questrade overnight trading is going live November 2, 2025 at 8 pm ET. Soon, you can trade select U.S. stocks and ETFs between 8pm and 2am ET, giving you unprecedented flexibility and control over your investments. Note: Overnight orders activate at 8pm ET and any orders not filled by 2am (for example, if there isn't enough market liquidity) will be cancelled. Only limit orders are accepted and fractional shares are not available.
Updated on Dec 19, 2023: If you want to open a new Questrade self-directed or a new Questwealth account, please email us: canadianrewards@gmail.com for our referral code. You will receive $50 bonus with this code.
You can input this referral code as "Offer code" during the online application process. Then you need to fill the online forms and upload the required documents for ID verification purpose. The entire process can be completed online. Once your account is open, you need to initiate an account transfer or transfer funds ($1000 fund is required to earn the $50 bonus). Questrade offers ten different ways to fund your account (click here). The method I like is online banking bill payment (the same way that you pay your utility bills with online banking bill payment).
Questrade is one of my favorite Canadian online trading platforms. I have my Self-directed Investing Account at Questrade. Questrade opened its doors in 1999 and it is one of Canada's fastest growing online brokerages. Questrade is based in Toronto, Canada. They support all types of accounts : TFSA, RRSP, Margin, RRIF, LIRA etc.
