Tiger Brokers sets 9 November launch for extended-hours US single-stock options in Singapore

Singapore investors who follow US company announcements during their evening are about to gain a narrower but useful change in trading access. Tiger Brokers Singapore says its Tiger Trade platform will begin offering extended-hours options on 24 selected US stocks from 9 November 2026 through a partnership with Cboe Global Markets. The news is a scheduled broker rollout, not evidence that all US equity options will become continuously tradable or that customer activity has already started.[1]

The eligible names include Apple, Nvidia and Tesla, with the initial group described as 24 actively traded single stocks. The broker says orders will be possible during a pre-market session and a brief post-market session. The standard-time Singapore schedule for the US pre-market is 20:30–22:25, followed by a post-market period of 05:00–05:15 the next morning. The published release also gives an earlier Singapore clock-time schedule when US daylight saving time is in effect. Clients should use the platform’s live session calendar rather than copy one clock time across the year.[1]

Only limit orders are permitted outside regular US sessions. That detail is central to the story: a limit sets the worst acceptable price but does not guarantee an execution. When an option is thinly quoted, a trader may see a large bid-ask spread, little displayed size or a quotation that changes sharply around earnings. Extending the clock does not create the liquidity available during the main regular-hours session, and it does not remove the effects of rapidly changing option volatility and underlying share prices.[1]

Tiger Brokers reports that the number of its Singapore accounts trading US options rose 69% year on year during the second quarter of 2026. The count of options-trading accounts is not the same as options volume or contract notional; its release does not publish either metric for the new session. The company also says the extension follows Cboe’s introduction of new sessions on 19 October. For investors the important operational change is broker participation, since exchange session availability alone does not ensure every intermediary supports a product.[1]

The initial securities list creates a different exposure profile from a broad index-options extension. Options on individual companies face company-specific earnings, takeover and regulatory news that may arrive when the cash equity market is closed. A client attempting to hedge a news event must consider the relationship between indicative underlying prices and option quotes, as well as the possibility of a gap at the normal market open. More session coverage improves flexibility while also changing when customers must monitor positions and exercise their judgment.[1]

What to watch next

The company operates through its Singapore capital-markets-services licence; that does not make the US contracts Singapore-listed securities. The options remain US market instruments with their own rules, settlement conventions and trading windows. Customers must meet the broker’s options eligibility and relevant account requirements. Educational tools and a demo account can help explain an order workflow, but a simulated fill does not establish the quality or availability of live extended-hours liquidity.[1]

The near-term verification point is Monday 9 November. Users and competing brokers can then observe whether the promised session and eligible contracts are actually accessible and whether market makers provide workable quotations. Future evidence would include the number of contracts traded during the new window and the proportion of orders filled. At publication on 6 November, those outcomes are prospective; the firm has announced a concrete and imminent expansion rather than a demonstrated shift in overnight option volumes.[1]
