Futures Order Types and Durations, Trading Hours, and Availability

What order types are supported for Futures?

Currently, Futures can be traded using the following order types:

• Market Orders

• Limit Orders

• Stop Limit Orders

• Stop Market Orders

• Trailing Stop Orders

• Take-Profit/Stop-Loss (OCO) Orders

With an OCO order, both parts of the order are live in the marketplace at the same time. In some cases, due to market volatility, it is possible that both the stop and limit order can be executed.

What order durations are supported?

Webull supports two time-in-force selections for futures orders:

• Day: The order remains active for the current trading session. Any unfilled portion expires when the session ends.

• Good-Til-Canceled (GTC): The order remains active until it is filled, canceled, or reaches an applicable expiration or cancellation deadline.

A trading session may extend across calendar days, so a Day order does not necessarily expire at midnight.

How do daily maintenance breaks, weekends, and holidays affect trading?

Futures trading is unavailable during scheduled market closures:

• Daily maintenance breaks: Many contracts pause trading briefly each day.

• Weekends: Most futures markets close Friday and reopen Sunday evening.

• Holidays: Trading may close early, open later, or remain closed, depending on the contract and exchange.

Orders cannot execute while the market is closed. Prices may change when trading resumes, which can affect your positions and execution prices. Check Contract Specs for regular trading hours and the exchange’s holiday schedule for adjustments.

What are futures price limits and trading halts?

• Price limits are exchange-set boundaries on how far a contract’s price can rise or fall during a trading period. At Limit Up or Limit Down, trading may be restricted or the limits may expand.

• Trading halts are temporary pauses during which trades cannot execute, often triggered by significant price movements. The rules vary by contract and trading session.
