Online Trading: Buying Stocks before Market Opens?

Anas A asked:


Hi,
Is it possible if you have an online account in etrade, scottrade, or whatever other brokerage firm, CAN you buy a stock before the stock market opens (“before ringing bell”) like an hour or two hours before for example at 7:30 or 8 ???

They usually call it before market trading, so does your order not get through until market opens or can you buy the stock briefly after you put your order in the online account..
