No, I would say it is ok. I had nice fills at real discount prices (especially in weaker market times when always some sellers are around who accept a discount), providing some cushion on market failures the other day and together with opening gaps it was a nice additional income. On average, I did 3 trades aftermarket. But I also managed to screw up when I cunfused stock symbols and sold at very far away prices - and there is no the smallest chance to get the deal undone. In general I would say it is helpful, indeed. You need patience and some guts to offer slight away prices and wait if you get hit. On other events like DELL at the earnings day it was able to get into it cheap and trade it up 2 points. Much more helpful would be if Datek allows to trade from 8:00 or 8:30 am. Or at least from 9:00 am. This would be a great improvement!"
