Description

https://github.com/sanko/Robinhood/blob/master/Order.md

for pre-market and after hours, orders must include extended_hours: true or they will show up as "Queued" instead of "Placed"

one way to handle this is to always include that key pair for all orders. another way to handle this is to use Object.assign (or object spread .. compatibility?) to include all passed in key pairs to Robinhood.place_buy_order(options) in the form data when making the request...

Research direction
The issue is about placing orders during extended hours in the Robinhood Node.js client. The problem is that the `extended hours` parameter is missing from the order payload. The solution involves modifying the `place buy order` function in `src/robinhood.js` (line 313) to include `extended hours: true` in the request body. You can choose to always include it or merge it from the options object. Refer to the linked `Order.md` documentation for context. Check the existing code to understand how other parameters are passed.
