What Are The Trading Hours in Hawai'i?

Trading Hours In Hawai'i
When most people talk about trading, they are often limited in with the idea that we can only trade the Stock market. The most common trading times associated with Hawai'i traders is waking up 3am to trade the 330am open. Additionally, despite Hawai'i having no daylight savings period, if we are trading the markets, daylight savings will affect the hours of when we trade.
For clarification:
Nov 3 - March 10: Backward 1-hour.
Trading Hours in Hawaii During Daylight Savings Time
The NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) operates from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time (ET). Hawai'i is six hours behind New York. Therefore, for trader's in Hawai'i, the market opens at 3:30 AM and closes at 10:00 AM local time.
March 10 - Nov 3: Forward 1-hour.
Trading Hours in Hawaii Outside of Daylight Savings Time
Outside of DST, the time difference between New York and Hawaii shifts to five hours.
Therefore, for trader's in Hawai'i, the market opens at 4:30 AM and closes at 11:00 AM local time in Hawaii. This period runs from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March.
If you do decide to trade in the early morning, a benefit we have out here in the islands is that we have the entire day left to accomplish many things!
Trading Different Markets In Hawai'i
Hopefully, this expanded your knowledge a bit but diving in deeper - the stock market is not the only market you are limited to trading in Hawai'i. We are able to trade:
1) Forex (Foreign Exchange/Currencies) - 24hrs a day, 5 days a week.
2) Crypto - 24hrs, 7 days a week.
3) Futures - 24hrs, 7 days a week.
Although these markets are open throughout the day, keep in mind there are high volatility/high volume times (refer to the 4 major markets in the above image).
The only limitations is your preference.
Out in the Hawaiian islands, there are multiple markets to choose from along with different times of day that we can trade from as well.
