Trading extended hours

Seems like fidelity is very restrictive in terms of trading hours. Why is it not possible to place an order for a security to execute either in market hours or in extended hours! GTC+EXT? Does fidelity have plans to allow this? Currently we have to place an order during market hours, if it doesn’t execute, then place the order for AH, if it doesn’t execute, then wake up early and place the order for pre-market. Crazy!

It used to be the bid price on an order ticket was blank. Now it’s been changed to insert a price that is favorable to Fidelity. A buy order defaults to the highest price in the range and a sell order defaults to the lowest price in the range. Clearly this gives Fidelity the best chance to increase profits on the spread.

You need to either give us the option to change how the defaults are used or go back to leaving it blank.
