AFTER HOURS TRADING
You can enter an order for the next day’s live market session at any time and it will become active when the market officially opens for business.
Orders left unfulfilled during regular trading hours do not carry over into after-hour trading unless you specify them to with your broker.
Most after-hour orders must be limit orders (check with your broker for particulars).
After-hours trading is risky because you may be limited to seeing only quotes from your broker, so you may not know if what is the best price.

The after-hours market is best left to professional traders or traders with years of experience.
