I tried that, but stops for stocks weren't triggerred in after-hours.

Thanks, dom993.

Thanks all for your answers.

Thanks for the heads up. I need stops in after-hours trading only in unique situations.

How do I set stop orders for U.S. stocks to be triggerred in the pre-market and after-hours market? Thanks.

Thanks. Market and stop orders for stocks do not seem to get filled outside regular trading hours with Interactive Brokers. Am I right?

Can anyone confirm that the stock market is the only finanical market where stop and market orders can only be executed in certain hours(i.e. regular trading hours)? Thanks.

Which trading platforms allow a strategy to receive data feed for multiple securities? For example, a strategy might want both real time and historical data for AAPL and the NASDAQ-100 Index, while another might need market data for GOOG and MSFT. Thanks.

I'm talking about the likes of NinjaTrader, TradeStation, Multicharts, Amibroker, etc. How long can they run without restart? Can I leave them running for days or even weeks? Thanks.

Thanks. I liked the first setup as well, but just couldn't put my finger on it.

Consider two hypothetical setups. One setup has a winning rate of 55% with a potential profit of $433 and a potential loss of $407. The other setup has a winning rate of 10%, a potential profit of $1000 and a potential loss of $50. Both have the same expectancy at $55. Which setup do you find...

IB-AN, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much.

Thanks, but the video shows you how to create a new order and then bracket it. What I'd like to do is bracket a currently open position, not an order.

Suppose I have 500 shares of a stock with no open orders. Now I want to "bracket" that position with one stop loss order and one limit target order so that if one of them is filled, the other one gets cancelled. Is this possible with TWS? Thanks.

Thank you so much, IB-AN. That was very helpful.

Conventionally, a bracket order has one entry order, one stop loss order and one target order, but I'd like to have more than one target order in a bracket order. For example, I want to buy 1000 shares at $50, but sell 600 shares at $52 and 400 shares at $51. I tried to set them up using a...

As far as I know, the only way to place a bracket order is by calling EClientSocket.placeOrder() with a parent order and then immediately calling the same method with a child order along with the parent order's ID. I noticed that if the parent order is immediately executed, the child order...

As you know. after hours run from 4PM to 8PM, but when the stock market closes early at 1PM, like the day after Thanksgiving, what time is after hours? Thanks.

Suppose you sold a naked call at a strike price of 100. Today is the last trading day before expiration and the underlying stock is curretnly trading a little over $100, like $101. You don't want to get assigned over the weekend so you need to close your position by the end of the day. The...

Thank you, James.
