STARTRADER has launched 42 new US Stock CFDs with 24/5 trading and confirmed that a further 43 US Stock CFDs will become available for 24/7 trading from 27 July 2026.
The two product additions expand the broker’s offering by a total of 85 instruments, covering major companies and investment themes across technology, finance, healthcare, energy, industrials, cybersecurity, aerospace, and emerging industries.
STARTRADER Launches 42 New 24/5 US Stock CFDs
The first stage of the expansion adds 42 CFDs available for trading five days a week.
The range covers widely followed names across several sectors, including Boeing, Mastercard, and Palo Alto Networks, as well as CFD exposure linked to SpaceX.
STARTRADER said the selection gives clients access to themes including defence modernisation, cybersecurity, aerospace innovation, payments, healthcare, energy, and industrial development.
Trader Takeaway
43 Additional Stock CFDs Move to 24/7 Access
From 27 July 2026, STARTRADER will introduce a second range of 43 US Stock CFDs available from Monday through Sunday, 00:00–24:00 GMT+3 platform time, subject to the broker’s applicable trading conditions.
The 24/7 range includes CFDs linked to major artificial intelligence and semiconductor companies such as:
- NVIDIA
- Apple
- Microsoft
- AMD
It also includes platform economy and technology companies such as Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, and Palantir.
Financial-sector exposure includes names such as JPMorgan and Visa, while emerging-sector instruments include CFDs linked to Tesla, Circle Internet Group, and AST SpaceMobile.
Product Takeaway
Why Round-the-Clock Stock CFD Trading Matters
Traditional US equity markets operate within defined exchange sessions, with additional access sometimes available through pre-market and after-hours trading.
Market-moving developments, however, do not follow those schedules. Corporate announcements, regulatory decisions, geopolitical events, technology launches, earnings-related updates, and shifts in global risk sentiment can occur overnight or during weekends.
By offering selected stock CFDs on a 24/7 basis, STARTRADER is attempting to give clients more flexibility to respond when events occur rather than waiting for the next traditional exchange session.
“Our clients follow markets across time zones, make decisions over weekends, and receive news at midnight. This launch is built around that reality, giving every client equal access, wherever they are and at any hour.”
— Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER
Extended Access Comes With Different Market Conditions
Although 24/7 access can provide greater flexibility, traders should not assume that market conditions will be identical at every hour.
Trading outside traditional exchange sessions may involve wider spreads, lower available liquidity, faster price movements, or increased sensitivity to breaking news. CFD prices may also reflect the broker’s liquidity arrangements and product methodology rather than a live underlying exchange order book during periods when the reference market is closed.
Clients should therefore review the relevant contract specifications, trading schedule, financing costs, leverage, margin requirements, and execution conditions before opening positions.
Risk Takeaway
AI and Technology Remain Central to the Expansion
The inclusion of NVIDIA, Microsoft, Apple, AMD, Meta, Alphabet, Amazon, and Palantir reflects the continued importance of artificial intelligence, cloud infrastructure, semiconductors, digital platforms, and enterprise software in global markets.
These companies frequently react to developments in AI investment, chip demand, data-centre spending, regulation, product launches, and corporate earnings.
The new range gives traders more opportunities to express views on these themes without being limited entirely to standard US exchange hours.
Broader Exposure Across Finance and Emerging Industries
STARTRADER’s expansion is not limited to large technology companies.
The new instruments also include exposure to payments and banking through companies such as Mastercard, Visa, and JPMorgan, alongside defence, aerospace, cybersecurity, energy, healthcare, and industrial names.
Emerging-sector companies such as AST SpaceMobile and Circle Internet Group add exposure to satellite communications and digital-asset infrastructure themes.
This wider sector mix may help traders diversify company-specific exposure, although CFDs remain leveraged products and do not provide direct ownership of the underlying shares.
Trader Takeaway
Part of STARTRADER’s Broader Product Strategy
STARTRADER said the expansion reflects its strategy of building a product architecture around global clients, different time zones, and the speed at which financial news now moves.
The broker is seeking to narrow the gap between clients and the markets they want to trade by increasing instrument coverage and extending access beyond traditional schedules.
The product launch also reinforces a wider brokerage trend toward longer trading hours and synthetic market access, particularly for highly followed US companies and technology themes.
What Comes Next?
The 42 new 24/5 US Stock CFDs are available now, while the 43-instrument 24/7 range is scheduled to launch on 27 July 2026.
Traders will likely focus on how the new products perform outside traditional US market hours, including their spreads, liquidity, pricing behaviour, financing costs, and responsiveness to company-specific news.
For STARTRADER, the launch represents a significant expansion of its equity CFD offering. For clients, it provides more flexibility, but also increases the importance of understanding how extended-hours CFD trading differs from trading shares on a traditional exchange.
Risk Warning: Trading CFDs involves a significant risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors. CFDs are leveraged products and do not provide ownership of the underlying shares. Extended-hours and weekend trading may involve wider spreads, reduced liquidity, and increased volatility. Traders should ensure they fully understand the risks before trading.
