GRRRR!! Getting slammed on pending orders. Been trying to get out of a short trade since friday. As of right now this stock is up $1.80 for 10,000 shares and is still on the move. Does this happen in real stock orders? Does it take awile for a broker to get out of a stock for you? I can understand if you are trying to sell at a set value, but if you are trying to sell at market value does it still take forever. At the end of June Ill be starting my real life investing. I have a project that will be finishing up in med June and it will free up more of my time and money. Pluss I had a goal to study for 3 months and that time is almost up. Just needing to pick out a good broker now.

HMMMM.

Just got this error now and ive had this stock for 3 trading days.

Error: Quick Sell Error
Sorry, you cannot sell a stock within 15 minutes of making a purchase.
As this simulation uses delayed data the "quick sell" rule prevents users with real-time quotes from trading in-and-out of a stock based on the discrepancies between the data sources.

No not at all, simulators have their glitches. If you do a market order in real life it will trigger within seconds. Any major broker will get the job done pretty promtly for you. If you are using a limit order though that may change things.
