re: How to trade after hours on E*TRADE?

Download the sinkorswim app. It is linked to your trade account and let’s you trade m-fri all 24 hours. With that said I haven’t figured out the settings to be able to do it.

Google says this.

Open an account and select that you plan to actively trade during the sign up process. Log into thinkorswim or the thinkorswim Mobile App and select EXTO when placing an after-hours trade.

Even with a Limit order it won’t allow me to do it.

You have to select it as extended hours under the duration tab. The first time you do an after hours there's some thing you have to click to acknowledge you've read it.

Using limit orders is just a general rule after hours. You can use Market but at the risk of your order getting filled nowhere near your price.

Etrade won't let you put in a market order during extended hours.
