Doesn’t work for penny stocks, they don’t trade afterhours.

Stop limit orders are queued and sent the next day, when the exchange opens.

As an aside, if you’re afraid that your stock is going to gap down, that’s not going to help, you know that, right?

What about STOP LIMIT

Oh, actually I did mention it:

“Pre-market trading starts at 8am EST
After-hours cut-off time is 5:30pm EST”

Here’s your problem:

“Time of Order: 18:32:18 EDT”

Cut-off time is 5:30pm EST. Forgot to mention it.

Thanks.
