This feature is slated to go live soon and currently it’s in the beta version. Once it rolls out, you can go to the US Stocks section in the Upstox app, complete the KYC and add funds. The US stock market will follow regular trading hours from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time (ET), Monday to Friday. In Indian Standard Time (IST), this translates to 7:00 PM to 1:30 AM IST — during Standard Time (November to March) and 6:00 PM to 12:30 AM IST — during Daylight Saving Time (March to November).
Here’s how order placement is gonna work:
- Market Orders: Can be placed only during market hours, and get executed instantly at the current price.
- Limit Orders: Can be placed anytime — 24x5, even outside market hours. These stay active and will execute automatically when your price conditions are met during market hours.
You can sell your US stocks anytime during regular US market hours: 7:00 PM to 1:30 AM IST (Standard Time: Nov–Mar) and 6:00 PM to 12:30 AM IST (Daylight Saving: Mar–Nov). Once you sell, the proceeds in USD will be credited to your Upstox US wallet on a T+1 basis, i.e., one trading day after the sale.
