After hours of sales?
If a stock closes at 10 on Friday, and rises to 15 after hours of negotiation, will be an order weekend (through an online broker like Scottrade) is planning to implement the market opening on Monday to be accepted in 10? Or, is the change in the price after hours taken as the closing price on Friday, making the run to buy a 15 on Monday?
More than likely that the price of $ 10 is not be accepted on Monday. If the reason for the increase in population to $ 15 after hours was some positive news, people who were planning to sell these shares $ 10 will change its price to $ 15 or withdraw the shares offered at the lowest price. However, if the seller is not following the news, your order may follow but then the dealer / market maker for that stock shares are listed only for themselves before you see it. If your order is a market order be executed at market opening price on Monday, probably at $ 15. If this was a limit order of $ 10, do not run from the opening price is likely exceeding that limit.
