Extended hours order

With the extended hours order you can place an instant order during the pre-market session.

Learn more about the extended hours order type.

Basic order

If you place a trade outside core market hours but don’t want it to execute immediately, you can use a basic order. These orders are queued and processed at 3 PM GMT when the US market opens.

Basic orders won’t execute during pre-trading hours.

Limit order (buy/sell), triggered limit (buy), triggered stop-loss (sell)

With a limit order you can set a specific price to buy or sell shares. A stop-loss order helps limit losses by automatically selling when price reaches or drops below a preset level.

You can place them during pre-market sessions, but they’ll only execute during the market’s core hours.
