Clear Street Partners with Blue Ocean Technologies to Enable 24/6 Trading

Clear Street has entered a connectivity partnership with Blue Ocean Technologies to expand its market services for after-hours trading according to a story in The Trade news. The firm has expanded to 24-hour, 6-day trading capabilities to further enhance liquidity access and risk management for its global client base. The development follows the launch of Clear Street’s OCC Cross-Margin, enabling futures and options traders to consolidate margin requirements and improve capital efficiency.  By connecting directly to the Blue Ocean ATS platform, Clear Street will be able to provide after-hours execution through a continuous FIX session, which it claims will have minimal downtime throughout the week, allowing for around-the-clock trading access. Clear Street’s institutional and active trading clients can now trade National Market System (NMS) securities including stocks, ETFs and ADRs overnight, with trading hours running from: 20:00 to 4:00 Eastern Time, Sunday through Thursday.
