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.
