Charles Schwab has significantly expanded the list of securities available for overnight trading on its thinkorswim platform. The online brokerage now offers over 1,100 securities, primarily exchange-traded funds (ETFs), for trading 24 hours a day, five days a week. This expansion is a strategic move aimed at providing retail clients with greater flexibility and options in their trading activities.

The initial expansion in February included the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 stocks, along with hundreds of additional ETFs. Since then, Schwab has seen substantial client engagement and positive feedback, leading to this latest expansion. James Kostulias, managing director and head of Trading Services at Charles Schwab, stated that the company is driven by client demand for more trading opportunities.

Among the most traded securities in the overnight session since February are Tesla (TSLA), Nvidia (NVDA), and Nio (NIO). Other highly traded symbols include Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). The trading behavior in the overnight session closely resembles that during standard market hours, indicating a positive reception from clients.

This expansion comes as Schwab continues to innovate and enhance its trading platform. The company's focus on client satisfaction and providing more trading options aligns with its broader strategy to stay competitive in the retail brokerage market.
