    Hi, I have a question regarding HSI premarket bidding. HSI is traded from 0945-1230 / 1430-1615 local time. Sometimes I want to take part in the pre-market bidding before the open of either AM or PM session, from when to when is the time for this pre-market bidding ? And if you have made the bid , can you cancel it later but before the open of the market ?

    Thanks for any help

    you can enter and modify orders up until 4 minutes before the open.

    you can enter only auction orders up until 2 minutes before the open but can't modify after 4 minutes before the open.

    IB supports these order types and they should be explained in the manual. If you have questions, please contact the HK help desk who can provide further assistance.
