Tiger Brokers Singapore announced that clients would be able to trade options on selected US shares through extended sessions on Tiger Trade beginning 9 November 2026. The company described the arrangement as an extension of its existing US stock access, supported by a partnership with Cboe Global Markets. The future tense matters: the 2 November release was a scheduled product change rather than proof of completed trades in the new sessions.[1]
The initial eligible names include highly traded US companies such as Apple, Nvidia and Tesla, according to the announcement. It should not be interpreted as unrestricted access to all US-listed options, every exchange or every broker account. Investors need to check the product universe, venue rules, permitted order types and the applicable terms at the Singapore-regulated entity.[1]
The release gives an opening time of 7.30pm in Singapore during the US daylight-saving period, shifting to 8.30pm during US standard time. Those are local Singapore clock times, not a claim of uniform US trading hours throughout the year. An investor comparing the offering with a US exchange timetable should take account of differing daylight-saving transitions.[1]

Tiger’s original release specifies an initial selection of 24 single-stock options, with a Singapore pre-market session from 7:30pm to 9:25pm while US daylight saving is in force, shifting to 8:30pm–10:25pm under US standard time. The corresponding post-market window is 4:00am–4:15am or 5:00am–5:15am the next morning, respectively. Only limit orders are supported outside regular US trading hours. The operational constraints matter as much as the promise of longer access.[2]
For a brokerage, the attraction is continuity between after-hours stock information and options execution. But outside conventional sessions, an option may have a wider displayed spread, thinner depth and different quote availability. A trading window that opens earlier does not guarantee a better fill; it creates another time segment in which the customer must evaluate price and liquidity.[1]
The commercial significance is also distinct from the legal perimeter. Tiger Brokers Singapore said it is licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. That statement describes its Singapore entity and should not be generalised to other companies using the Tiger brand. Whether an individual client can trade a particular contract remains a matter of eligibility, agreement terms and operational enablement.[1]
The immediately testable milestone is 9 November: does the announced list of options actually become executable on Tiger Trade in the stated hours? Before then, describing the service as available would be premature. The release contains no independent data demonstrating narrower spreads, improved execution quality or lower options transaction costs relative to the regular session.[1]
