You already got 2 great tips from the nice folks here: buy market, cause, you seem unaware of the perils of the stop limit in the volatile markets. (the limit part can cause you a lotta pain) get a broker that provides you with better order management options such as hotkeys and direct routing, good luck!
@constitutionman maybe it's as you say, maybe I might not have the experience or understanding of certain processes to recognize a valid advice. For example, you talk of "a lotta pain"....how about providing more context or developing somewhat more your contribution so I might be sure I got what you mean? nt
novicetrader69, On Lightspeed Trader, this would be an example of a hotkey close out a full short position or buy 500 to open of any stock in the focus window at the market when the price hits $0.50 above the previous close (You can also use bid, ask or 8 other metrics) . It will create a pop up where you can change the price or share amount before sending. This is a server side STOP order if the default route is used.
@Robert Morse thank you so much, it's enlightening seeing how much more feature rich is a professional trading platform What is the minimum deposit to open an account? nt
No, a single one. Stop limit order with a buy price higher than the stop/trigger price. Anyhow order rejection I believe is due to the fact that there is a gap with an open price simply higher than my buy price. nt
