Are there any trading platforms that allow for after hours trading of stock? If so, which are best?

Question

PS: I understand risk. I'm looking for an answer to my question, not why or why not it's a good idea. Thank you :P

Answer 1

I currently use Firstrade ( http://www.firstrade.com/ ).  I've never traded after hours, but I do know that they offer it.  I'm happy with their trading platform, but I wouldn't know if they're the best for after hours trading so you will have to check them out yourself.

Answer 2

It's a crime. Guys go to jail.  No one would tell you in a public forum.  .

Best platform I've ever delt with;

Conditional Sales orders with OCO's

CNBC live streaming and news

ShadowTrader during market hours

TOS charts include after hours

Prophet Charts (with pattern recognition)

Alerts based on the usual plus MA's, Oscillators etc.

Weekly training webinars (terrific stuff)

And a ton more. I also use InteractiveBrokers, platform not nearly as good but you can do after hours.

Other brokers you can do afterhours include;

Schwab'

Scottrade

Fidelity

Ameritrade

Almost everyone else.

Unless you're extreamly experianced stay away from extended hours trading. I do over 400 trades a year. Maybe 2 are extended hours!

Answer 4

All major brokerage firms provide trading platforms for their on-line customers.  

Although most sites are geared to general securities and commodities, however customers may have special needs for the types of products they trade, and the markets in which they trade.

It seems that the most popular firms for on-line investing all of which provide excellent platforms and services are; Scottrade; Chas.Schwab; TDAmeritrade; Fidelity; E-Trade and Thinkorswim
