What is an AMO (After Market Order)?

An AMO (After Market Order) lets you place orders outside regular market hours, either after the market closes or before it opens. It is ideal for customers who cannot monitor the market during live sessions but still want to participate.

With AMO, you can:

• Plan trades at your convenience

• Avoid missing opportunities due to time constraints

• Queue your orders for execution at the next market open
