Getting To Know Stock Trading Open Hours And Good Time For Investment

YOGYAKARTA - For novice and experienced investors, understanding the opening hours of shares on the stock exchange is crucial.

When is the best time to make a transaction? Are there certain times that are more profitable? This article will thoroughly explore stock trading hours, as well as provide tips on the right time to start investing.

The Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) has set a stock trading schedule that applies to equity effects in the regular market.

This schedule regulates specific times for various trading activities, ranging from pre-opening to post-closure. Reporting from the official website, here are the important hours:

Before the main trading session begins, there is a pre-opening period (08.45.00 a.m. 08.57.59). In this period, market participants can enter orders for buying and selling shares. Pre-opening is divided into several stages, namely the input time of order, non-cancellation period, and matching time.

The main trading sessions were divided into two sessions, namely session I (Monday-Thursday: 09.00.00 12.00.00, and Friday: 09.00.00 11.30.00) and session II (Monday-Thursday: 13.30.00 15.49.59, and Friday: 14.00.00 15.49.59).

The duration of each session is different from Monday to Thursday and Friday. It was in this main trading session that the majority of stock transactions took place.

Then in the JATS NEXT-G trading system, both in the Regular Market and the Cash Market, transactions occur based on two main principles:

The purchase demand at the highest price will be prioritized, as well as the lowest selling offer. This means that buyers who are willing to pay higher will first get shares, while sellers who are willing to sell at lower prices will sell their shares first.

If there are several requests or offers at the same price, then those that are submitted first will be prioritized. So, whoever enters the order faster, it is he who will first get or sell the shares

It is important to remember that once a transaction occurs, the rules are that both buyers and sellers are obliged to carry it out.

Ahead of market closure, there is a pre-closure period (Monday-Friday: 15.50.00 15.59.59).

Just like pre-opening, in this period market participants can also enter a share purchase order. There is also a random closing mechanism that aims to determine a more representative closing price.

After the main trading session ended, there was a post-closure period (Monday-Friday: 16.02.00 16.15.00). In this period, the system is still open to certain activities, such as cancellation of orders that have not been realized.

Please note, starting in 2025, the IDX will impose a non-cancellation period at certain times during the pre-opening and pre-closure process. This aims to increase efficiency and timeliness in the implementation of transactions.

For more detailed information about the specific times of each trading session, including the time difference from Monday to Thursday and Friday, you can find it on the schedule issued by the Indonesia Stock Exchange.

The schedule for stock trading above can change at any time in accordance with the policies set by the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Therefore, it is advisable to always check the latest information before making transactions.
