After hours added 1.27 million shares, about three-quarters of the regular session total. The whole day came to 2.94 million.

What to take from it

• At AEHL's two halt reopens and its high, a market order cost well above the screen price. The three real fills here cost $754, $567 and $1,149 more than the screen showed, because few shares were offered at the best price.
• A later high can come in lower than the earlier one. AEHL made $10.90 at 3:25 p.m. and $9.42 at 3:54 p.m.
• The biggest move can come after the close. The regular-session high was $10.90. After hours, the stock reached $14.18.
