| This might be a silly question, but i am new at this, and learning as i go, but the question is, when i am looking at the graph of a stock, when i want to buy it, like when it is at a low, since there is a 20 min delay. when i click buy, and i getting the stock for the price that i am seeing it at, or does the price go 20 minutes also? cause that can make quite a difference. Thanks for the help! |

Check this out as a timeline.
Key:
X trade requested
X Trade executed.
===== is time
A Stock trade in realtime:
========XX======
Put order in on eInvesting Without a delay:
===XX===========
eInvesting order Delayed 20 minutes:
===X=====X======
With this method your trade should execute very close to what it is in real time.
The only problem with making trades happen immediatly is that people that get real-time quotes could "See into the future" and take advantage of fluctuations.
This isn't a perfect system, but you should be able to get your stock very close to the actual price it's really trading at. |

Yep, we are bound by the delayed quotes. |
