I just found out that the opening times for the Thai stock market aren’t set in stone 😅 Previously, I thought it always opened at 10:00 AM, but it turns out there’s a pre-open period starting from 9:30 AM, and the actual opening time is randomly selected between 9:55 and 10:00 AM. So I’m not sure when to place orders.
Trading in the morning is from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM, and then the market takes a 2.5-hour break. In the afternoon, it opens again from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM. At 4:30 PM, it enters the pre-close period, and the stock closes randomly between 4:35 and 4:40 PM. So if you want to trade during the closing period, you need to be well prepared.
What surprised me is that the market opening time and the stock closing time are very important for speculation, because prices fluctuate a lot. If you want to trade stocks, you need to remember these times well; otherwise, you might miss the golden moments. 💰
