Portfolio value?

Question

Is it possible for your portfolio value to increase over night? When the marked closed today I was up 18000 and at around 3am it went up to 21300. I though it didn't update after hours...

It's not for real, I use updown.com as a learning tool for now

Answer 2

"After hours" trading can move things a lot.  Don't value your portfolio right after market close -- wait a few hours while the after house folks trade.
