This seems problematic for Monday morning. Particularly mega caps. You guys have any thoughts?
I buy or sell in the pre or post market for stocks occasionally. Almost business as usual, with some extra hoops to jump through on the order fill-ins (checking certain boxes, outside regular hours, etc.), depending on your broker. Not available for each and every stock or ETF, just the more heavily traded, etc.Al_Dente wrote:We've seen this chart before, proof that gains happen in the overnight markets
I'd like to see the stats on buying in the pre-market. I know the "problem" is that it's easy to identify the close, but what $number would you use for the pre-market? Maybe just lock in the number say 10minutes into the pre-market.
PS: does anyone on this board buy in the pre market?
Not sure how to address the issues raised in the above sentences of your post. So, generally speaking, for something like SPY, or perhaps AAPL, the spreads are reasonable, trades are happening, I put in the LMTs (MKT orders not available), etc., and push the button. And, generally speaking, having pre market trading available to the public allows us to buy or sell, as prices move up or down, before facing the gaps, evening the field a bit for the public.I'd like to see the stats on buying in the pre-market.

This makes me think again of my interest in having the stock markets go 24/7, as I think that will happen eventually.
