Can we go over this again. Can they be done on exchanges? I notice the Nasdaq has trades. Are these trades done usually at brokers...Where both buyer and seller match and get filled?? Are there any free websites that give insight to after hour trade activities? Could someone go over the dangers/benefits of trading after hours. Could a black swan incident happen over night/weekend, that doesn't allow you to dump and get out before the big boys? Example...Overnight two more Boeing planes doors pop out in flight!! If I am holding the stock, what do I do... Your thoughts...

Lightspeed offers trading on ARCA and NASDAQ routes from 4am to 8pm est. I think so does EDGX. We offer an Instinet SMART route that works pre-market. Pre and post market trading must be limit orders. We do not offer Market or any type of Stop orders off hours. Our GTC orders are not active during those hours. Some of our customers, as they have full time jobs or live overseas, only trade during those hours. They can be volatile and can be illiquid, but very popular. If you would like to view pre-market trading, and try our software, request a demo here- https://lightspeed.com/demo-request/lightspeed-trader
%% Yes IBD website [investors.com] has , say on SPY@ 3;05CST after hours prices, no volume just last price. Like PH11, noted\ may not be much liquidity or much meaning . A TQQQ order this week went unfilled, even though it was not lowest price; blessing in disguise. WE cant promise you a fill on BA\ but since its been downTrending from $444 area, \thats life. Saturday about noon ,IBD have last SPY after hours down a bit more %, not much. Nasdaq has delayed after hours quotes, BA also down a bit post market
A couple of things...Are the fees higher? If I put in a buy/sell "limit" order, do I have to accept odd lots (less than 100 shares)? Can it be "all or none"...What about partial? You want to sell 200 shares, but you want them in one or two lots of 100 shares, if sold...Doable?? So it seems that it is a network of brokers vs a market (say Philadelphia), that execute the trade(s)... Also, the Nasdaq is not a market (per say)...So it can be part of the broker's network!! I may have more questions, ruminating right now...
%% 100% chance in the long run, NOT as liquid; day by day could vary. Sounds like there is a good reason RealTic called it ''irregular hours.'' LOL SCHW charges the same, no charge +starts about 3:05 CST; but as I noted ,100% chance in the long run, not as liquid. Sometimes may get a better price, but more ''no fills '', less liquid ,even on liquid TQQQ. Ever notice in life also\ ''last minute stuff may never get done??'' Welcome to post market trading sometimes
Not with us. Yes. Yes, but those order are not shown and have no price protection. NASDAQ is a Stock exchange like the NYSE where shares are listed. It is not a dark pool or free route which the free brokers use.
