Each publishes its own list of symbols admitted to that session, and those lists are typically limited to large-cap index members. We do not track them per symbol, so check whether SOis on your broker’s list before planning an overnight order.
Overnight sessions route through ATSs, typically have wider spreads, accept limit orders only, and offer no guaranteed fills.
