Just discovered that many people are confused about the Thai stock market hours. It's not just about what time the market opens, but also about what time it closes, which is very important if we want to trade properly.
So, which time period is the "important" one when prices are most volatile? It's right after the market opens in the morning (around 9:55-10:00 AM) because all the overnight orders come in, and morning news also affects the price. Then, the market closes at 12:30 PM and reopens at 2:30 PM until it closes in the evening at 4:30-4:40 PM.
What's interesting is that the closing time isn't exact. There's a "random time" window of 5 minutes to prevent price manipulation. Therefore, the Thai stock market doesn't close at the same time every day; it might be a little earlier or later than 4:40 PM.
If you understand these timing nuances well, you won't miss the periods when prices change the most. 📈
