These brokers run an overnight session: Charles Schwab (thinkorswim), Interactive Brokers, Robinhood, E*TRADE (Morgan Stanley), Webull, Moomoo, Firstrade. 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 MSis 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.

About Morgan Stanley

Morgan Stanley is a massive global financial services firm, with offices in 42 countries and more than 82,000 employees as of year-end 2025. While the firm's history is deeply rooted in investment banking and institutional trading, where it maintains a strong presence today, Morgan Stanley now generates the lion share of its income from wealth and asset management franchises, across which it boasted $9.3 trillion in client assets at the end of 2025. After reincorporation as a bank holding company in the wake of the global financial crisis, Morgan Stanley also boasts a top 10 banking franchise by deposits, with more than $400 billion in customer deposits, predominately attributable to cash sweeps from its wealth management and brokerage businesses.
