What is an After-Market Order?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An After-Market Order (AMO) is an order placed outside of market hours (after 3:30 PM or before 9:00 AM) that gets executed during the next market session. For retail investors who cannot monitor the market during trading hours, AMO is the most practical way to act on investment decisions made in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
