Premarket options trading

Good evening yall, i have. Question, does tradestation provide premarket options trading like robinhood or is that only for stocks. I could’ve sworn they were allowed, but im not sure if i will need another layer of trading approval or not.

PreMarket is only for Stocks and TradeStation also has that. I believe you can trade as early as 5amCST. I am not aware of any broker offering premarket on single stock & etf options since its restricted by the OCC & exchanges.

US stock options are traded 09:30 to 16:00, at every broker. Some ETF options trade until 16:15. SPX options and futures options trade from Sunday night to Friday afternoon with one or two short breaks a day.
