I just found out that the Thai stock market doesn't open exactly in the morning 😅. It has a pretty complex schedule. If you're a trader, you need to know it clearly.

The stock market opens from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM in the morning session, then takes a lunch break, and reopens from 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM in the afternoon session. Before the actual opening, there is a pre-open period where the system gathers buy and sell orders, and there is also a random 5-minute open and close window to prevent price manipulation. Therefore, the actual opening time of the stock market each day is not the same.

These opening and closing times are very important for traders who speculate on stocks because trading is only allowed during trading hours. If you don't know the exact opening and closing times of the stock market, you might miss good trading opportunities, especially during the initial opening when prices are highly volatile. That’s a great opportunity for speculation. You need to be prepared for each day's market opening and closing times.
