Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you short on downticks in the extended hours? Sometimes not at levels below the regular session close...
Thanks. Where can I find out more about this? I'd like to know what the official regulations on this are b/c this has implications for after...
Can you elaborate please? Also, what about pre-open? Can institutional traders do it? Thanks.
Can you guys trade options after hours?
Thanks a lot guys! This thread has been so helpful and is another proof to me of what a great resource ET is! Good Luck to all of you.
Thanks richtrader! It's actually very similar to what I thought I'd end up having to do, basically reading character by character to see where...
