First #papertrade on TOS platform. Really need to get the hang of the software before I risk my own cash! As market data is delayed & I couldn't work out how to put in a Limit order, I got filled at Market price and lost about $0.10 on the BUY price from what I was aiming for. I scaled out ½ of my position initially, to lock in some profits & learnt that 2x SELL orders BOTH attracted a $9.95 commission!
