Extended-Hours Trading at Power E*Trade
At E*TRADE, you can access the financial markets before they open and after they close using one of their trading platforms. Trade in the premarket session from 7 am EST until the market opens at 9:30 am EST, and in the aftermarket from the market close at 4 pm EST until 8 pm EST.
Here is how you can trade the extended hours at E*TRADE:
Trading Platforms
You have several platform options for buying or selling stocks, indices, or ETFs during the extended hours. E*TRADE offers four main trading platforms: the E*TRADE website, the standard mobile app, the Power E*TRADE app, and the desktop trading software known as Power E*TRADE.
E*TRADE Web Extended Hours
To execute trades during the extended hours on the E*TRADE website, simply select the appropriate option from the dropdown menu on the order ticket. You need to specify whether you are buying or selling, the quantity, the order type, and the price per share. You can select from two extended-hours options in the ‘Duration’ menu: ‘extended hours day’ and ‘extended hours.’
‘Extended hours day’ keeps your order open until it is filled based on the limit order price and conditions you set (Day vs GTC). ‘Extended hours’ acts as a fill-or-kill order for immediate execution.
E*TRADE App
The process for placing trades during extended hours using the E*TRADE mobile app mirrors that on the website. Choose your Extended Hours option from the ‘Term’ field and proceed to trade.
POWER E*TRADE After Hours and Pre Market
Power E*TRADE, the broker’s advanced trading platform, works similarly on both desktop and mobile. To trade during extended hours, navigate to the ‘Trade’ icon and open the trade ticket.
On the order ticket, choose EXT from the ‘Duration’ field to keep your order open during the pre-market and aftermarket sessions.
Extended Hours Disclosure
You must sign a disclosure to trade during extended hours at ETRADE. This document informs you of the risks involved with extended hours trading and records your agreement.
Extended-Hours Trading at Webull
For more trading hours than E*TRADE offers, consider Webull. Webull’s pre-market session starts at 4:00 am EST, three hours before E*TRADE’s. And its after-hours trading goes until 8:00 pm EST, matching E*TRADE’s closing time.
With Webull, you get an extra 3 hours of trading time.
To place an order during extended hours on Webull, simply select the extended hours option on the mobile app or choose Yes from the dropdown menu for extended hours on the desktop platform.
