    Hi Chris,

    Purchasing of stock can not be done prior to market opening unless it was a trade between brokers. But this is normally done in days prior and at set price.

    You sound as though you are trying to work out how the auction works, if so this thread might be of use to you. This thread will give you an insight on how the auction actually works and along with the proceedings on how the orders at the auction are filled.
