Is it still possible to trade options at 2 a.m.? Wall Street's new approach is quietly changing the rules of wealth

Former investors had a common habit: close the software after the market closes.
Now more and more people realize that even when the software is off, the market is still dancing.
As the trading hours for U.S. stock options continue to extend, Wall Street is officially moving toward "24/7 operation."
Many think this is a benefit for retail investors.
In reality, it’s more like a new survival test.
In the past, only a few hours a day required decision-making.
In the future, you may have to face market changes at any time.
For example, just as you're about to sleep, a tech giant suddenly releases a new AI product.
The related options prices fluctuate instantly.
When you wake up the next day, your account has already experienced a rollercoaster.
It seems like there are more opportunities.
But in fact, the risks are also amplified.
Because the biggest enemy for most investors has never been the market, but impulsiveness.
The longer the trading hours, the more impulsive trades there are.
Interestingly, many institutions are very happy about this.
Because they have 24/7 teams and automated systems.
They work in shifts.
Retail investors stay up late themselves.
Before the game even starts, their stamina bars are already different.
In the future, markets will increasingly resemble highways.
Fast drivers keep overtaking.
And for ordinary investors, the most important thing is not to race along, but to ensure they don’t crash.
Those who truly make money are not necessarily the ones staying up the longest.
But those who know when to sleep.
