Sell dividend directly after ex-date+1

Sell dividend directly after ex-date+1 Hello everyone, I wanted to sell my dividend stock immediately after the ex-dividend date+1, but unfortunately the market was paused due to price fluctuations. I bought the stock at the ex-date to capture the dividend, and planned to sell it early on the ex-date+1 day — for example, if the market opened at 8:00 am I wanted to sell at around 9:00 am. However, the market was closed at that time. TL;DR: I needed the cash from selling the stock to buy another dividend stock that had it's ex-date at 10:00 am on the same day. Since I’m from Germany, a friend recommended using a U.S. broker and mentioned that they might not have this immediate pause after the ex-dividend +1 date. Are there any brokers that don’t enforce this pause and allow me to sell the stock right after the ex-dividend date? Example: 1st February: buy at ex-date basically during night --> dividend is emitted, price is adjusted 2th February: market opens at 8am and I want to sell at 9am. Thanks in advance for your broker recommendations!
