Receive alerts pre and post market?

[imrobert]

Hello all, I just started using the Thinkorswim alerts and love it but do the alerts only work during market hours? I have an alert to sms me when a price hits a certain mark and it only worked until 4pm.

Thanks for the help!

Do you have pre-market enabled? You may need to have that while you're looking at the chart. I'm not sure if you also have to enable extended market hours for the alerts as well (is that even an option?).

Where do I enable premarket?

Pre market and after hours are combined into "Extended Hours". Here is a screen shot of enabling both:

Thanks for the reply, I had that enabled. I guess alerts work during market hours only and not pre and post.

Yeah alerts will not come in pre/post market.
