Exchange Traded Options (ETOs) are available for trading during specific market phases set by the ASX. Each phase determines how orders are handled throughout the trading day.
| Trading Phase | Time (AEST) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pre‑open | 7:00 am – 10:00 am | Orders may be entered and queued in preparation for market opening. No trading takes place during this phase. |
| Normal trading | 10:00 am – 4:00 pm | This is the primary trading session, during which ETO orders are actively matched and executed by the market. |
| Extended normal trading | 4:00 pm – 4:20 pm | Trading continues after the normal session ends; however, market maker obligations do not apply during this phase. |
These trading phases are determined by the ASX and may be subject to change. Please monitor ASX announcements for the most up-to-date information.
