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 AM 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 directly after you put your order in the online account..
Thanks
for example: TT shares went up 23% before market opened and it began rising from 8:00 AM,,, could I have bought some shares from my online account at that time???

b) trading stock option, such as buying calls and puts

I am a nonresident alien (Canadian) and filed a W-8BEN. I greatly appreciate your answers. If possible, I would also like to know which documents could point me to the answers.
