Extended Hour Trading

[zinkr]

I currently use Ameritrade as my broker. I would like to use SuperDOM, etc. in pre-market and after hours trading. When I submit an order the only options I see are Day/GTC. Ameritrade offers Day, Day+Ext., GTC, GTC+Ext., Ext. AM, Ext. PM.

Is there a way to trade in the extended hours using NinjaTrader?

Please see the TD AMERITRADE connection guide at the bottom for more information.

Thanks for the quick reply. The post does not explicitly state that extended hours are not supported. Just says "some special order types...".

So is it safe to safe that NinjaTrader does not support extended hour trading?

If this is true, is this a feature that will be added in the near future?

Hello,

NT supports what you broker and exchange supports. You can trade any time you want with NT if your broker and exchange are open.

Not true. Ameritrade supports extended hour trading. NT submits orders as DAY or GTC. In order to trade in extended hours, order must be placed as Day + Ext. or GTC + Ext.

If GTC does not allow trading in extended hours (as you have indicated) then we currently do not support it.
