After Market Order (AMO)
An After-Market Order (AMO) is an instruction to buy or sell securities outside regular trading hours, such as late in the evening or early in the morning. Since the exchange is closed, the Trading Member queues the order and pushes it to the exchange as soon as the market opens the next trading session.
