Hi Its normal that a portfolio market value varies more than 2% outside regular trading hours? Why is that? If the market is closed, how are the shares being traded? Dou you setup Stop loss orders to be triggered if there are outside rth? Have a nice day
Most brokers allow trading outside RTH by routing orders to special marketplaces (e.g. Tradegate for some EU stocks). I don't know which brokers you use but IB and others have a switch to enable/disable trading outside RTH.
Stocks can move up or down significantly in the extended & pre-market sessions. This stock recently moved up 1,621% in the extended hours session.
Im using IB and Im trading us stocks only Do you recommend to allow stop loss orders to be triggered ouside RTH? If so, why?
You should investigate how you (or your broker) is quantifying 'portfolio market value'! Some may be using mid point of BID/ASK spreads for determining price. IF the references are to products with no market during that time, the BID and ASK are irrelevant, hence garbage in, garbage out. A case in point would be VIX options after hours -- value may be off by orders of magnitude and with improper polarity!
