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.

Are you trading stock options? Just buying puts and calls or more advanced strategies?

Ivan K. asked:


I’m looking at SQNM and I don’t know what the move will be. I want to buy calls and puts at the same time and will realize any profit instead of buying the shares before expiration date.

The stock is currently trading at $21. I want to buy 100 calls and 100 puts but I don’t have enough money to buy the actual shares before expiration date. Can I use “sell to close” to realize any profit instead of buying the shares?

Thanks.
