How to place an extended-hour order?

When you place an extended-hour trade, the default order type is a Limit Order. To choose Extended Hours Order:

  • Go to Company Profile > Trade > Buy/Sell > Choose Order Type on the top right side > Extended Hours Order.

  • Limit Orders placed during extended hours will be automatically canceled at the end of the trading day if the order is not completed due to a discrepancy between the specified price and the stock price during the trading day.
