I'm wondering if it's possible to purchase stocks from the US 
market even when the regular trading session has ended. Specifically, I want to know about after-hours trading and whether I can participate in it.

    Not all brokerages follow the same schedule, though.

    Some brokerages restrict their clients to executing trades only until 7 p.m. Eastern Time.

    The trading hours after regular 
market close can differ among brokerages.

    Conversely, other brokerages might permit trading even after 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

    Generally, after-hours trading commences at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on weekdays in the United States.
