Thanks you freedom ,
Is there any difference between the trading of ' after-hour and before -hour ' , ' pre-market and after market '?
Why need to name it in different terms ?

I don't know whether there are reasons, but generally, it is called "pre-market" & "after-hour", not "pre-hour" or "after-market"

In the SGX EX, if we put in a sell limit order a few hours before the market opens, is it that we are participating in the possibility of pre-market and after market selling?; Or during the market session? Actually i ask because i usually manage to sell at the "After" more than the "Pre" or "Normal" session. Or i miss selling in the market. i dare not do the same for buying. The reason i think is quite obvious.
What are the pros and cons of selling in this manner? Anyone like to give some tips?
i seldom sell at the price i want by on the spot monitoring; Selling at market price the price i want. No patience to do it.
Thank you.
WB:-

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

NB:-
My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.

Thank you Muck,
With this link, i learned more about this ' pre' and ' after 'market trading hours. These trades are not reflected in the DJ index as the index close at 4.00pm sharp.
