Trading "without being present"

Hi,


Due to some work and life changes, i am no longer able to trade stocks during market hours


I am loo!ing for options experiences for putting in non-current orders


The most obvious one is to put in market or limit order. I would be doing this say 10 pm at night


This worries me as i did this a couple of times before and was horrified at result. Stock opens really hot, i get maket buy filled and stock settles down right after..maybe too late with order


Any advice on placing these off-hours orders? Does the order book carry over from previous day?


And then can retail trader, do VWAP, PriceOnClose or something like a limit or market order at 11 am (perhaps subject to bid/ask spread


Thanks in advance
