 BATS real-time data is provided by [[https://​batstrading.com|the BATS exchange]] for no additional charge. BATS data is only available for US stocks. For liquid stocks, BATS data is very similar to NYSE/Nasdaq data. For thinly-traded stocks, BATS data can differ significantly. BATS data quotes do not contain useful volume information,​ so we do not display volume on BATS charts. We highlight BATS real-time data bars in yellow.

 +===== Extended Hours Data =====
 +
 +For many US symbols, we offer extended hours trading data. For US markets, after-hours trading data covers the 4 hours after market close (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM Eastern time); and pre-market data covers the 5.5 hours prior to the market opening for the day (4:00 AM - 9:30 AM Eastern time). ​
 +
 +Pre-market and after-hours price quotes are available on the [[:​reports:​symbol-summary|Symbol Summary]] page during pre- and post-market trading sessions.
 +
 +In addition, extended hours data can be charted on both SharpCharts and StockChartsACP charts. Check the Extended Hours checkbox in the [[:​sharpcharts#​chart_attributes|Chart Attributes section of the SharpCharts Workbench]],​ or on the [[:​acp:​editing#​chart_attributes|Chart Settings panel in StockChartsACP]]. When this box is checked, extended hours bars will be added to your intraday chart in color-coded sections (purple for after-hours,​ blue for pre-market) if extended hours data is available for that symbol. ​
 +
 +Note that securities are generally more thinly-traded during pre-market and after-hours sessions than during regular market hours. Extended hours price bars will only be shown if there has been trading activity during the timeframe of that bar. Volume data and volume-based indicators are not available for any extended hours bars.
 +
 +Historical pre-market and after-hours data is available going back approximately three trading days.
