How to trade after hours on E*TRADE?
Posted on 6/16/20 at 3:05 pm

Does anyone with an E*TRADE account trade after hours? I have tried to place orders after hours and it tells me my account doesn’t have authorization to place an after hour trade.
I’ve tried calling E*TRADE but I can’t ever get a representative on the phone. Thanks for any help.

On Ameritrade you use ext pm or ext am instead of day.
Not sure about etrade. Use limit orders

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

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.

Limit orders don’t apply to extended hours trading unless specified.

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.

I would highly recommend using only limit orders in PM/AH. You could get wrecked pretty easy if not.

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.

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

You have to be on main website to agree to terms and conditions of extended hours.
Place a limit order and under duration choose extended hours.
If its your first ext hrs trade, an agreement you must acknowledge will appear. Agree and then you can place on app , online, pro, or power etrade.
You must always select limit and extended hours when setting it up.
No options trading in ext hrs. No market orders

If there is a way I can trade individual stocks at night, I would love to know, but I cannot find a way. Just the ETFs.

y’all need to be extremely careful trading after hours/premarket. Volumes are usually very low and a single big trade can torpedo a stock price or set in motion a steep move against your position.
generally only pros and institutional investors regularly trade AH. It is fraught with danger for the retail guy with very little actual benefit

Or you can catch a moron selling for way too cheap and make bank.

This is all very fair advice. I will say though, as a pretty novice investor myself, having the ability to trade in PM/AH is almost a necessity if you’re going to trade anything relatively volatile. A looot of action is eeearly morning (Webull allows trading as early as 4AM) or late AH runs. If you take anything overnight it can be pretty painful to watch your position crash with no ability to do anything about it during those times.
I’ve done pretty well sticking to limit orders because you remove the risk of a market buy, which again, would highly recommend against doing in those times. Not saying make your living there, but, learning about it and how to correctly utilize it is very important.
