Matthew:  
  
Could you set a market on close/open order? So we can buy/sell stocks at the close/open price?  
  
  
  
Thanks!

The closest thing to this is the “Park order until… specific time” feature. Simply set your order to execute at 9:30 am or 4:01 pm or whatever. -MK

A bit more nuance on this (twenty year old!) post:

Market-on-open is pretty easy: Just enter your market orders BEFORE the market opens and it will be treated as Market On Open.

Market-on-close does still require your use of the park-until feature.
