1. Your Questions About Nasdaq After Hours
Joseph asks…
What are Pre-market trading hours and After-market hours?
In NASDAQ, what are the Pre-market trading hours and After-market hours? I guess buy/sell
order can be placed in this hours but execution can only take place in trading hours?
Can anybody elucidate?
Steve Winston answers:
As for the hours, each exchange and ECN has their own trading times. I believe NASDAQ and
NYSE Arca starts the pre-market session at 8:00AM and ends after-market at 5:00PM. ECNs
generally have much longer trading hours, and the earliest begins at 4:15AM and ends at
7:00PM.
Like the two previous posters wrote, liquidity during pre and after-market hours tends to be
extremely thin for most stocks. In generally, on the most liquid stocks and ETFs are traded
during those times.

Are Electronic Communications Networks / ECNs for Stock Market
open 24/7 or is there times when they r closed?
I am looking at GM stock charts on Nasdaq after hours but it does not show the date . I am
thinking the chart is showing Wednesdays data since normal trading ended early plus it likely
was closed for Christmas. I will propbably have to wait for Pre-Market data. Is there other times
when institutional investors do not have access to ECNs?
Steve Winston answers:
No they are not open 24/7. For example Nasdaq extended trading is 8:00-9:30 AM Eastern
Time and 4:00-6:30 PM Eastern Time.

"why isn't there one place to get after hours quotes" I go on yahoo I get one after hours quote.
Then I go on Ameritrade I get another, and finally on go on the Nasdaq site and I get another.
Steve Winston answers:
The same reason there isn't one restaurant to go out for dinner...
I'm not sure I understand your question.

4. Daytrading in Pre/After Market Hours?
I have a brokerage account with a balance under $25,000 and so can only execute 3
DAY-trades within 5 business days or I will be deemed a pattern daytrader and will receive a
margin call per dow/nasdaq rules. My question is, does this apply to trading in pre/after market
hours? Essentially, if I buy shares during premarket hours and sell them after the market
opens is this considered a daytrade?
Steve Winston answers:
Basically, yes.
Premarket trades are 'counted' as occurring on the day they are executed. Check with your
broker to see how they handle after hours trades.
