You can manage your overnight trading preference in Settings → Trading defaults. Turn on “Overnight execution by default” if you want all new orders to be eligible for overnight execution automatically:
If this option is disabled, orders will be placed only during regular market hours unless you enable it manually in the Order Entry panel.
Note: This setting is visible only if at least one of your accounts supports overnight trading.
2) Order Entry panel
In the Order Entry window, you will see the Overnight execution switch (if available for the selected account and instrument):
Enable it if you want your order to be executed during overnight hours. Stop Loss and Take Profit orders will automatically inherit this setting. If the switch is not shown, overnight trading is not supported for the current instrument or account.
