    Evening trading?

    Does any of the brokerages allow you to enter you trades in the evening and then they get executed the next day?

    Questrade does not (unless it is a board order), which is kind of annoying if you can't get to a computer during the day...

    At TD Waterhouse you can place a limit order online that you can keep in place for about a month until executed or cancelled. I don't do at the market orders unless I am there online, but I presume you can set those up too.

    TDW lets you place market orders after hours too. No issue.

    This is not true. I just tried entering a partial lot order at Questrade and it was accepted.

    As FP has said, you can place any order on Questrade after hours and it will execute for you. It will say "Queued".

    From Queued it will change to Accepted.

    From accepted it will change to Executed.

    Well... I can't seem to. When I try it says rejected. So I asked questrade, hey said you can do trading on the tsx between 4-5 and NYSE between 8 am-9am and 4-5.

    Any other time they said is not possible. So when are you trading and how are you entering it?

    There is a difference between after-hours trading and doing what I did, which is just enter a trade after hours which won't execute until the market opens.

    To do it, I just entered an order the same way I always do. What happens when you try it? Is there some kind of warning/error message?

    When I do it, it always just says order rejected.
