After hours trading has nothing to do with time zones. It is all based on eastern standard–New York time. Pre-market trading and after hours trading are conducted on NASDAQ and NYSE stocks, which are called Extended hours Trading. Note that the fees for trading in extended hours is about 50% higher thannormal trade fees. Also, you cannot do market orders in extended hours trading. You must set a limit price for your trades. Be careful trading extended hours. Many times the price during normal hours will be much different than in extended hours.
