After hours and pre market?

Hi
Is it possible to use quantopian (with or without Robinhood) to trade after hours and pre market, or is it limited to 9:30 to 4?

I am asking this because a lot of catalysts(such as earnings) happen before/after hours. Without the ability to exit a stock that misses earnings it is risky to only be able to exit a stock during normal trading hours.

Quantopian only supports trading during regular market hours.

You're correct about the intrinsic risks of holding equities overnight. I don't think there is any amount of after-hours support that permits you to escape earnings risk. The only way to avoid that risk is to not hold overnight.
