Does Tradestation allow pre-market trading in a simulated account?
I've tried placing some limit orders pre-market, but they never get filled. I can't tell if its because it isn't supported or if the application is bugging out on me(which it will sometimes do during regular hours, causing stop or limit orders to not get filled).

nfgrufio,

are you referring to manual or strategy trading and which instrument category (stocks for example)?

Regards,

ABCTG

nfgrufio,

this should not be a problem. I have tested this successfully in the past using limit orders.

Just tried this in the pre-market, and had no problem this time. Not sure why I was having so many issues in the past.
I guess I will chalk it up to buggy simulation software.

Thanks for the response!

I have the same issues, placing manual orders in pre-market.
