I start online trading on online virtual simulation platform to practice options trading. But there is a “20-min” delay which keeps annoying me.
My questions:
1. So that means i am not trading at the price when i click the “confirm” button? E.g. I want to buy apple.inc at $100 at 10am so i click “confirm”, but the trade is delayed to 10.20am when apple inc has soared to $200, so i am trading at $200 which is way more expensive to me??????????
2. What does the word “position” means? I buy a share so i have 1 position???I sell that share so i lost that position????

Thank you so much and forgive me asking such stupid questions.

Hi,
Is it possible if you have an online account in etrade, scottrade, or whatever other brokerage firm, CAN YOU BUY a stock before the stock market opens (“before ringing bell”) like an hour or two hours before for example at 7:30 AM or 8???

They usually call it before market trading, so does your order not get through until market opens or can you buy the stock directly after you put your order in the online account..
Thanks
for example: TT shares went up 23% before market opened and it began rising from 8:00 AM,,, could I have bought some shares from my online account at that time???
