- Sterling Trading Tech has announced the launch of overnight trading in U.S. National Market System (NMS) equities, expanding its platform to support 24×5 access. The new capability is offered through Blue Ocean ATS and integrated directly into Sterling’s order management system (OMS), allowing clients to trade U.S. equities outside of traditional market hours.
The development is part of Sterling’s broader global expansion effort, which has included enhancements across OMS, risk, and trading tools. Sterling’s product suite now spans multiple asset classes, including U.S. and international equities and options, futures, fixed income, mutual funds, foreign exchange, and crypto.
Access to trading in U.S. equities now extends into overnight hours
All Sterling routing venues onboarded with Blue Ocean are now accessible for overnight trading. Clients also gain access to market data and direct routing into the Blue Ocean platform. The update includes expanded API functionality that enables clients to automate margin rate adjustments for trades executed during overnight sessions.
Jen Nayar, President and CEO of Sterling, commented, “At Sterling, we are committed to providing our clients with global access to trading in U.S. equities, now extending into overnight hours. At the same time, we continue to advance our OMS and intraday risk and margin measurement capabilities. These enhancements enable our clients to confidently navigate today’s volatile, unpredictable, and complex global markets.”
The overnight trading launch positions Sterling among a growing group of technology providers enabling access to U.S. equity markets during Asia-Pacific and EMEA trading hours. By integrating with Blue Ocean Technologies, which operates an alternative trading system focused on overnight execution, Sterling gives clients extended flexibility to respond to macroeconomic events and earnings releases outside of normal trading windows.
Sterling Trading Tech serves more than 100 clients globally, including brokers, clearing firms, and proprietary trading groups across over 20 countries. Its trading and risk management tools are designed to meet the needs of professional market participants with a focus on performance, customization, and 24-hour support.
The company continues to invest in infrastructure to support evolving trading patterns, including cross-asset capabilities, automated risk analytics, and global market access. With the addition of overnight U.S. equities trading, Sterling expands its utility for institutional clients seeking around-the-clock liquidity and execution.
