I just found out that the Thai stock market doesn't open exactly every day. There is a pre-open period where the system randomly opens between approximately 9:55 and 10:00 AM, which is very important for traders, as this opening period has the highest price volatility.
From 10:00 to 12:30 PM, it is the regular morning trading session. Then there is a market break from 12:30 to 2:00 PM. After that, it enters the afternoon session from 2:30 to 4:30 PM. The closing price for today and every day is around 4:30 to 4:40 PM, which includes a pre-close period and a random closing time as well.
The key point is that you cannot trade stocks all the time; trading is only possible during market hours. If you're not aware of the timing, you'll definitely miss good trading opportunities.
