Why is the "Outside of Regular Trading Hours" option disabled on my Order Ticket?

Trading outside Regular Trading Hours (RTH), which includes pre-market and after-hours sessions, requires special attention to certain factors:

1. Order Types and Eligibility:
   • Market orders are generally not accepted during extended trading hours…

No, orders from Regular Trading Hours (RTH) and those orders marked to work outside RTH will not be eligible for the overnight session.

Additional Information…

There are two reasons why an order would be filled during the pre-market session:

1. The submitted order was set to work outside regular trading hours (RTH) or pre-market hours.
2. The order was for an OTC/Penny stock which does not have a pre-market session but starts regular trading hours at 8:00 EST…

If your order is not active, first check to make sure it is not in a "Paused" state. If your order has been "Paused", you will see a pause icon in the "Status" column and the Transmit button will be illuminated. 

If you are attempting to trade outside of regular trading hours (RTH), you will need to configure your order to trade outside of RTH. The easiest way to configure a single order is to click on the Time in Force drop down and check the box that says "Fill Outside RTH".
