I am new to this but I'm catching on thanks to all of the forum people and the info you all provide. I have a question about trading I hope someone can answer. Frequently when I put in a trade request they do not buy/sell the stock. I've sat and watched for up to 4 hours until the stock moved out of my limit I set. It never bought/sold the stock. I've lost out on a lot of good buys and sells. Since I deal in OTCBB or OTC or stocks of this nature I know you can only place a limit order. I use Ameritrade and I just wonder if this is normal? Is there a quicker way to make them buy/sell? Or is there another company that provides better times to buy/sell. One more thing, I don't place enough trades in a month to get there 9 second guarrentee. I'm still working up to that. Or does that even apply to limit orders?

Use "market orders"......but only when you can sit and watch it CLOSELY....

9 second fills is just a gimmik to get you to use their service....it means 9 seconds untill it's on the trade board...not filled.

Good Luck.......
