    Default Scottrade and Extended Hours

    Does anyone know for sure what Scottrade's requirements are to trade extended hours? Can you trade extended hours without having a margin account? Or, do you need a margin account to have extended hours?

    Yes, you can trade AH/PM with Scottrade without a margin account. You can't however trade OTC's, PINKS AH/PM, only MM's have this ability.
