How to Cash In on After-Hours and Premarket Trading

My usual trading day starts at 0700 ET,
which is 0500 hrs my time. And it ends at
1800 hrs my time in the evening.

I subscribe to a breaking news feed that
enables me to get in on trades as soon as
possible, after I have researched them
to ensure they meet my criteria.

If there isn't anything to suit me that day,
I maintain a list of reliable stocks/ETFs
that I trade instead.

There is money to be made in the pre and
after market for day trades and swings
for when I hold stocks overnight.

Those of you still moaning about not being
profitable, get off your tuchus and get busy.

for thick ETF's, one would be able to get his order filled, sometimes, market maker would make you to pay up for those large order like 10K (he'd keep raising the bid to make you chase it), but if one breaks the order into two 5K orders, then one 'd be able to get in on the bid price.

for thinly traded ETF's, your order won't be filled immediately, market maker d give some odd lot shares, it'd take hours in afterhours for your order to get filled. sometimes, only 1/5 of the order is filled.
I think if you have IRA account with Fidelity, they won't let you trade afterhours. (at least for my case).
not sure about the cash account, ...

My IRA at Schwab can trade and traded occasionally ETFs and stocks but I cannot see any edge.
