Yes, it does. When we subscribe to data, we need to specify we want include extended market data:
AddEquity("SPY", Resolution.Minute, Market.USA, true, // Fill data forward 2m, // Leverage true); // Extended Market Hours (default is false)
In this case, OnData will be called after market hours and we are able to place orders.
Then it is up to IB to accept/fill the orders.
