Extended Hours Trade Conditions:
CTA and UTP Code Details

An enhancement to the GlobalQuotes and GlobalRealTime API services will be introduced on January 22nd, 2026.

This enhancement only applies to extended hours for U.S. exchanges and will not be a breaking change. We will be introducing a new field called "ExtendedHoursTradeConditions" in the GetGlobalExtendedQuote and GetGlobalExtendedQuotes endpoints, which will return the trade condition code for extended-hour trades.

Note: All trade condition codes are delivered directly from the exchanges.

If you have any questions regarding this new field, please reach out directly.
