Pre-market trading is the process of trading assets before the markets open. Simply put, it's trading before the normal market hours begin. Traders use pre-market movements to gauge how markets might operate on full opening.

Pre-market trading can be a good way to get into the market or out of it, particularly for widely followed stocks and funds. With pre-market trading, you can place trades before much of the market is ready to act. Despite this advantage, pre-market trading is not without some drawbacks.

Even worse, prices of stocks traded during premarket hours may not reflect those shares' prices during regular hours. Premarket trends can be deceptive. Even when stock prices appear to be rising during before-hours trading, they may drop sharply at the opening bell.

The first place investors should look to find information about pre-market and after-hours activity is their brokerage account's data service, if they have one. Brokerage information services often provide the most detailed off-hours market trading data and usually come free with a brokerage account.

Lack of a clear strategy: Futures and options trading requires a well-defined strategy. If investors do not have a clear plan, exit strategy, or risk management, they may make impulsive decisions that lead to losses.

Should I keep my stocks or sell? ›

In most cases (the 8-week hold-rule being an exception), you're better off locking in at least some of your gains to avoid watching your profits disappear as the stock corrects. And you can potentially compound those gains by shifting that money into other stocks just starting a new price run.

Based on the stock market's historic performance, there's never necessarily a bad time to buy -- as long as you keep a long-term outlook. The market can be volatile in the short term (even in strong economic times), but it has a perfect track record of seeing positive returns over many years.

The pre- and after-hours markets function in the same fashion as the regular market in that the shares are traded between parties at an agreed-upon price. In other words, the price you will receive is the price that someone in the after-hours market or pre-market is willing to pay.

Investors are only able to engage in after-hours trading at brokerages that offer this capability, or through financial advisors who offer this type of expertise and access. While many online brokerages offer the service, you should read up on fees charged and the brokerage's rules for trading during these hours.

A position can be closed only when the market you are trading is open. If you click the 'Close' button when the market is closed (for example, during weekends or market breaks), this will create an order to close the trade when the market re-opens. The position line will show 'Pending Close' until the market re-opens.

The first step to place a trade for the premarket session is to log into your brokerage account. Your broker may have a specific area of their website or app to place extended-hours trades, separate from standard orders. The broker will also detail when you can place an order for premarket trading.

Simply search for stocks for which the current day's opening price is greater or less than the previous day's closing price. You can further refine your search by adding filters for the magnitude of the price gap. Filtering for stocks with a gap of at least 1% is a good way to start scanning for pre-market gappers.

If you're wondering who can take advantage of premarket trading, it's really just about anyone. While institutional and high-net-worth individual investors most commonly trade before the market opens, technically anyone can do it.

Within the chart settings panel, look for the section related to trading sessions or time settings. The exact terminology may vary depending on the TradingView version you are using. Look for an option that allows you to enable or disable “Extended Trading Hours” or “Pre-Market” and “After-Hours” data.
