What happens if I copy a trader or invest in a Smart Portfolio after market hours?
Last updated: 12 August 2026
If you copy a trader or invest in a Smart Portfolio outside market hours, the positions within the copy will open as soon as trading on the relevant markets resumes, at the best available prices.
If your copy includes assets from multiple markets, these positions will open at different times, depending on each market's trading hours.
Positions on stocks or ETFs labelled ‘24/5 trading’ may open during any of the extended-hours sessions.
