IB after hours

How do i buy a stock after hours? LEH is trading on Island but when I put a limit order in IB TWS gives me a message that the order will not be placed until 09:30 tomorrow.

 

Go into the options and there is a checkbox under stocks for enable trading outside of market hours.

 

Configure--Order--Order Defaults

Under settings, place a checkmark under 'allow order to be activated, triggered, or filled outside of regular trading hours'.

 

Make sure you check the box 'Fill outside RTH' under the column TIF

 

Thanks, had to press apply not ok.

 

I traded on island and via smart. The smart order traded on arca but I did not and still do not see a bid/offer on leh. Any ideas?

 

Why does the arca line have no bid/ask but when you trade you trade on arca?

 

You need to enable the arca data feed. It costs $10/month, log onto account managment to do so.
