I keep forgetting that the 24/5 trading setting is always on, causing my buy/sell orders to get excecuted pre & post market.
Specifically, I always forget to turn this off when I send stop orders, because the 24/5 on/off button is under the fold.
My opinion is that 24/5 should be an option users tick if wanted, not a default setting.
Maybe add one line in Settings: 24/5 on by default / 24/5 off by default.
Or after pressing Review Order, show the toggle again, so users can see it and turn it off before sending order.
It’s currently getting me in trades that I shouldn’t be in - because I want the market hours move to reach my stop entry not the pre-/post-market action.
It’s also getting me out of trades erroneously - yes it traded to my stop loss pre-/post-market, but I’d rather exclude this activity altogether from my automated orders.
I can see the benefits, believe me. I just wish it was a little more user-specific. Maybe one person doesn’t want it at all, whereas another wants it on all the time. Some may use it sparingly - therefore, it should be off by default. Others use it most of the time and turn it off only now and then - 24/5 should be on by default for this group.
Open to feedback.
