Did you sell after hour? Can everyone buy and sell after hour? On etrade? What is needed to trade after hours?

Entry comments: I bought this former runner on breakout over day highs, I was try to grab it at 2ish, but it moved too fast so I'm keeping my position small since it's so quick, I will NOT chase this since its only 2pm EST, I wanted this later in the day for power hour and possible morning spike tomorrow to sell into, goal is to sell in the 2.20s or 2.30s, don't get greedy
Exit comments: I sold my remaining position into the failed morning spike, laptop acting up too, might have to reset grrrrrrr

- Oct 19, 16 2:32 PM: Added 2100 at 2.06 - I added some more on this dip, it got a little ahead of itself, but I'm thinking it can re-test those 2.20s later today or ideally tomorrow morning
- Oct 19, 16 3:41 PM: Added 2100 at 2.11 - I added to my position one last time before the market close since it's holding its gains/breakout over the morning highs well and I think it tests the 2.23 highs today tomorrow and potential has a spike tot he 2.30s or even 2.40s, thats my goal to sell into tomorrow
- Oct 19, 16 6:02 PM: Sold 4000 at 2.33 - This stock is spiking nicely after-hours so Ik'm lessening my position as it's hitting my goals...looks like it can spike more tomorrow, but I don't want to get too greedy, congrats to all longs, always exit some/all of your position when a plan is working out like this is
- Oct 20, 16 9:32 AM: Sold 4000 at 2.27 - I sold my remaining position into the failed morning spike, laptop acting up too, might have to reset grrrrrrr

The only catalist is the breakout ? u said that a Breakout must be backed up by contracts or earnings !!!
@bullking same pattern as OPTT too, get in chat, learn what's working
Totally made 580$ papertrading, bought at 2.07 sold at 2.18!! So glad I signed up!! God bless America!!!
@bullking contracts and news can increase the spikeability and chances to trade, but even trading momentum based patterns is still profitable, just gotta be a little more careful about it. Plus oil and energy plays are hot so this sector fits.
I am still limited to day trader inTDameritrade.com, they asking 25k to be able to be do day-trade. any idea how can work with less funds?
