Aphrodite 0 Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone! I'm wondering why my Stop LIMIT orders don't work during extended hours. I'm with IB and I can use them during extended hours when I send orders through their platform TWS (so it's not a broker limitation) but they don't seem to work with DAS . Does anyone know whether it's possible to have them work outside of regular hours? Edited October 28, 2021 by Aphrodite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aphrodite 0 Posted October 29, 2021 1 minute ago, peterB said: from IB website https://ibkr.info/node/576 * For stocks, Market orders and Stop orders (which, when triggered, become Market orders) are only active from 09:30 until 16:00 EST (the Nyse's regular trading hours session). To have the order active in all sessions including the Premarket hours, Regular Trading Hours and the Aftermarket hours, you must use a Limit or Stop Limit type order and add the attribute "Allow Outside RTH". stop limit orders are good only for entries and unusable for exits especially oursite RTH Yes and as the site says you CAN use stop limit orders. And I've used them before- they work well (it's an extra protection when I'm in a position I can't watch every second, in addition to alerts). I'd like to also use them when trading from DAS. If it's not restricted by the broker, then I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be available for traders that want such option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ten 1 Posted November 1, 2021 Speaking with DAS support just now it seems they decided not to allow stop limit orders to fill during PM/AH as they can be easily missed on volatile stocks or large prints. I was told this was a DAS internal decision so even though IB allows it, DAS software does not. Annoying for me as I trade the PM/AH quite a lot and stop limits are very handy but what ya gonna do.  ten 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miah 13 Posted October 27, 2022 No change in this I assume? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trident_07 0 Posted May 15 no change on this ? IKBR allows but DAS doesn't seem to actually fill it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peterB 322 Posted May 16 there is one workaround which is very dodgy - you can place a limit order of one share on the desired stop then attach a trigger order to that one that would exit the whole position the 2nd option shall be possible in the new dastrader version which is to be released. (currenty the functionality crashes the whole app) i will be covering this option here https://traderpeter.substack.com/p/das-advanced-hotkeys-part-4 and the next articles it will have its limits still though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
