Ym and stops on ecbot placed through IB

I dont usually take overnight trades but I decided to take a position in the ym tonight. I trade through IB and I placed a stop limit for loss protection. Do stops and stop limits trigger during the overnight session on ecbot? I have heard some bad tales about this :confused:

you need to make sure you set "after hours" on the stop trigger method.
 
I can just guess... You went long.
