Thanks. Sorry for not clarifying: these would be limit orders. I've only ever traded using market orders which execute immediately. The answer, it appears, is that these types of orders would never happen after hours; so what I'm getting from this is in the first example it would sell at $15, and in the second example it would sell at $25.
Investors....come in please!

Does it sell at $15 at 9:30am at market open, or would it sell at some point during after hours trading when the stock crossed $18?
1. The only way you'd get a fill the following morning at $15 is if you entered a limit order at $15, and the bid was at $15 at some point that day.
You could also use GTC orders, and stop limit orders. I kept it simple for the example above. If you don't enter a GTC order and you don't get a fill the order dies at the close of the market. If you enter a GTC order the order stays open for 30-90 days depending on your broker, or until it gets filled. It doesn't apply to after hours. In order to buy and sell in after hours you have to specifically trade in after hours.

For this example there are two ways you get filled the next day @ $25.
1. The day before you entered a GTC order for a limit of $25, bid hits $25 you get a fill.
2. That morning you enter a limit order for $25, the bid hits $25 you get a fill.
I suggest you do some reading on Limit orders, Stop Limit Orders, [how to set them up], [very helpful], and Good Till Cancel orders GTC.

^Wishing I bought more PGH when it bottomed - that's what I'm doing.

I got some at a good price, but I too wish I had bought more. Not buying more now though. Just glad it makes up for my losses in AT
It's coming up to that longer term trendline resistance. At about the $5.50 level where it *should* pullback. It's being accumulated like crazy on massive volume though.
I wish I had stuck with it but and set a much wider stop. Oh well. maybe I'll take another stab if it pulls back some.
I'm glad it worked out; I was starting to feel like an idiot with my chart analysis!
I see exactly what happened; it bottomed at the bottom trendline on an arithmetic chart, not log. I hate that! I'm setting up my software for 2 chart sets; one log, one arithmetic.

Yeah, I also saw $3.94 and thought about buying a 1000 shares, got busy and forgot about it.

Does anyone know if the 5% discount for PGH DRIP works if you hold the shares at a broker? I use ameritrade, which I guess is Canadian fwiw.
Wasn't sure if you have to use their agent.

I don't know. Contact the broker, they should know.

I heard the banks are still closed there, is that correct?
I have no idea what im doing when it comes to the stockmarket, I am basically gambling out of boredom. Put $300 into BTZO and $300 into VVIT today just so I can see what happens on my day off tomorrow.
