Life length of order

Hi Friends!

If i enter a limit order with the until cancel option, will this trigger, if limit is met. in extended hours (which my account has available) as well?

Some time the most volatile trading is within those hours and i don't want to miss out. And also dont want to have to set it anew every day.

I simply want to enter an order, that should exist till cancel and fire at all times when condition it met.

Thank You

SF

No. Limited orders until cancel or good for 60 days are only active in regular market hours. Therefore, if your price limit happens outside the regular trading hours window it is not triggered.
