No -- the last price is the price of the last trade of the day. For NYSE listed stocks, this is usually the last trade on the Pacific Exchange (since the Pacific exchange closes after the NYSE and other regional exchanges).
The opening price is the price of the first trade the nexxt morning.

It depends on which market you are talking about.Let's talk about the 2 main US stock markets. The NYSE and NASDAQ.
Firstly, even though both markets stop trading at 5:30 pm, the books stay open for "orders" (trades) 24/7. With this said: the bid/ask ratio can move anywhere before the next days open. If there is more demand for buyers the next days open will reflect that.the same situation for more sellers.Its important to note that there are many market makers on the NAS, and just one Specialist per security on the NYSE.This gives the NAS a bit more volatility than the NYSE and makes a nice place for day traders.Daily futures prices are never a guarantee of the actual future price of a security that day as anything can happen that is unforeseen. the only thing daily futures prices are good for is to measure volatility at the open of the day.

There is after hours trading and pre-market trading the next morning. And there are also buy and sell orders placed while the market is closed, not executed in after or pre market trading, that are waiting to be executed when the market opens. All of this has to reconciled by the market makers or specialists in order to set an opening price.

It's really possible to make money with trading online, specially with binary trading. You have just to know where to learn... and I know the best source ( http://forexsignal.kyma.info ) This course explain everything you need to start a very profitable trading activity. Before you "learn" to day trade you first must understand the markets, the products traded in the markets and the rules you have to follow to be in the market. You have to learn what to do, why to do it, when to do it and how to do it. If can learn all of this then and only then can you day trade. Before you day trade you must be able to trade. You also need a written sound trading/investment plan with rules that will not only help you but more importantly protect you, mostly from yourself. You also need sufficient trading/investment capital. Use your own money, there’s no need to go into debt so that you can trade/invest. It is more imperative to have a written money management program in place. Remember never invest 100% of your capital into any one security and never have 100% of your capital invested and a good understanding of the rules

Normally yes but necessarily as the price is chosen by the market makers to match the volume of sellers to the volume of buyers.

Think about it, you own shares, go to bed and the company strikes oil or whatever would you want to sell your shares for the same money in the morning. Marketmakers have the same attitude so the answer is no. Same applies selling too.

Not necessarily, highly active stocks will continue to trade even after the bell, they will also begin to trade early in the morning before the bell.
