Hi , so i am new in trading , the other day i put in a buy on Schwab just before the market opened , as sometimes i have to leave for work before it opens. But the price that it was at was much different (fortunately lower) , than it was right at market open. Is there a way to handle this best? Also can one trade on a mobile device through Schwab so this can be done while at work or at lunch or something? thanks
1-You can place trades prior to the regular market open @ 9:30 EDT. Use "Extended Hours". Volume can be thin on many stocks in pre-market so use limit orders. 2-Schwab has a modile app to place trades.
