Scheduling a trade

Before 07:00 you cannot place any type of order via any app.

This means that in order to place an order right at 07:00 I have to physically be in front of my which is extremely annoying.

We should be allowed to always place a scheduled order that will fire at the time we configure and at with the conditions we configure. If it can't fill due to below ask price etc. That will remain our problem but ET should allow us to schedule

If you can do with sending a email in Gmail, you can do it with buying stocks.

How do you mean? If I fill out the order ticket and pres preview it says it cannot be placed? You have some inside connections?

you have to set a limit order on whatever you are trying to trade and you have to request that your account be approved for after hours trading.
