Overview |
| Extended Hours and Standard Session quotes automatically
display when you access the Premarket and After Hours Place Stock Order screens or if you enter a stock
trading symbol in the Get Quote box at the top of the screen while viewing the Premarket or After Hours
Place Stock Order screen. |
| The Extended Hours quote includes information across a number of ECNs which are linked to the ECN in which Fidelity participates and Nasdaq when available. This includes the best bid and ask prices and size from the ECN. Extended Hours quotes obtained from Fidelity.com will only reflect the prices available in the ECN. |
| During a portion of Fidelity's After Hours session, the ECN will have the opportunity to route orders to other ECNs and market makers for execution via Nasdaq's SelectNet system while SelectNet remains open (currently, until 6:30 p.m.). After Nasdaq's systems close, only those ECNs with links to the ECN will be accessible for order display and execution. |
| The Extended Hours quote includes the change in the Extended Hours session last[tick] price from the standard session closing last [tick] price. Since the change in price from the standard session close to the real-time Extended Hours session last[tick] can be substantial, we recommend that you review this information as well as the ask and bid price and size before determining the limit price for an order you place in the Extended Hours session. |
| The Standard Session quote provides information as of the last market close. The standard session market close is 4 p.m. Eastern Time. However, there may be circumstances under which the last[tick] price for a stock may be posted for the standard session after the market close. In these cases, the as of time shown for the standard session quote will be the time when the last[tick] last posting occurred (e.g., 4:04 p.m., 4:12 p.m.). Possibly, the volume reflected in the Standard Session quote information will continue to update after the standard market session closes. |
| You may occasionally see the market close date without the market close time in Standard Session Quote section of the quote. If you do, note that the price shown is correct and is as of the market close on the date displayed. While the Extended Hours session quote information continues to update during an extended hours session, the standard session quote is static, because the market is closed. |
