After-Hours Trading - AHT

What does it Mean? Trading after regular trading hours on the major exchanges.

Also known as the "after-hours market".
Investopedia Says... This was once reserved for institutional investors, but now individuals may also trade after hours. Participation by market makers and electronic communication networks (ECNs) is voluntary and, as a result, this kind of trading may offer less liquidity than that done during normal hours of trading. If you are trading in pre-market or after-hours trading, you should always use a limit order.
