Robinhood Markets Inc HOOD is rolling out 24-hour trading, 5 days a week, in an effort to appeal to investors who want the ability to trade whenever they'd like.

The feature offers comprehensive time controls, such as Good-For-Day orders which remain active for up to 24 hours and Good-Til-Cancelled orders that stand for up to 90 calendar days.
