What are after-market orders (AMO) and how do I use them?

By PriyaSahu

After-Market Orders (AMO) are orders you place even after the stock market is closed. This feature helps people who are busy during trading hours but still want to buy or sell shares. Angel One allows you to place AMO orders through their app or website easily.



What Are After-Market Orders (AMO)?

AMO lets you place your stock orders after regular market hours. The stock exchange will process these orders once the market opens on the next trading day. It’s a useful feature for working professionals or students who can’t track markets in real-time.


When Can You Place AMO Orders?

You can place AMO orders during these hours:

  • Equity: 3:45 PM to 8:57 AM (next day)
  • Currency: 3:45 PM to 8:59 AM (next day)
  • Commodity: 12:00 AM to 8:59 AM (same day)

Note: Orders placed outside these times will be rejected automatically.



How to Place AMO in Angel One App?

Follow these steps to place an AMO:

  1. Open the Angel One app and log in.
  2. Select the stock you want to trade.
  3. Choose “Buy” or “Sell”.
  4. Enter quantity, price, and select “AMO” option.
  5. Tap on “Place Order”.

Your order will be queued and sent to the stock exchange at the next opening.



Benefits of Using AMO

Here’s why AMO is useful:

  • Trade even if you are busy during the day.
  • Plan your trades calmly after market hours.
  • Quick execution once market opens.

Things to Keep in Mind

While AMO is convenient, keep these points in mind:

  • AMO orders are not guaranteed to be executed.
  • Market conditions at opening may change prices.
  • Always check your order status once the market opens.
