Quote from elitetradesman:

How do I set stop orders for U.S. stocks to be triggerred in the pre-market and after-hours market?

Thanks.

Have you tried using stop-limits with a wide limit price? I think that is the only way you are going to be able to do stops in extended hours trading. I don't believe IB will let you do market orders during that time of day (could be wrong though).

You cannot use stops in extended hours trading with equities. Period. If you don't want to "work" an order via limits then don't trade in extended hours.
