AlgoX Flow › Pre-market › QQQ
QQQ is trading at $710.90 in after-hours, roughly flat since the close. Quoted Aug 25, 7:07 PM ET.
QQQ is close to unchanged outside regular hours, which means nothing has arrived overnight that the market disagrees about. Gaps that matter usually show up here first.
Pre-market runs 4:00am to 9:30am ET, after-hours 4:00pm to 8:00pm ET. Spreads are wider in both, and the further from the bell you go, the thinner it gets.
Dealer positioning does not stop overnight. The largest positive-gamma strike sits at 710, which tends to act as friction on the way up. The largest negative-gamma strike is 707; below it, hedging flow amplifies moves rather than absorbing them. Max pain for the front expiry is 707.
A pre-market gap that opens the regular session beyond one of those levels behaves differently from one that does not. See the full QQQ gamma map →
What is QQQ trading at in the pre-market?
QQQ is trading at $710.90 in after-hours, roughly flat since the close. Quoted Aug 25, 7:07 PM ET.
What time does QQQ pre-market trading start?
Pre-market trading runs from 4:00am to 9:30am ET, and after-hours from 4:00pm to 8:00pm ET. Volume is far thinner than the regular session, so spreads are wider and a single order can move the quote more than it would during the day.
Can I trade QQQ before the market opens?
Most brokers allow pre-market orders from 4:00am ET, though many restrict them to limit orders only. Because extended-hours liquidity is thin, a market order in QQQ before the open can fill materially away from the last quote.
