When you lift ASK + 0.1 it doesn't mean that you are buying the ASK + 0.1. It simply means that the limit price will be ASK + 0.1. For example if the BID/ASK is 250.5/240.6, if you choose ASK + 0.1 it means that it will fill your order at maximum price of 240.7$. It is just a limit order but a...

No it is the opposite. If you buy, you lift the Ask + 0.1. If you sell, you hit the Bid-0.1 It is 0.1 not 0.01 and you can use any amount you like

yes it does. All you have to do is select Limit order and add the increment that you desire. I attached an image so you see. It should be available on all trading platforms

This article here explains what I mean https://www.warriortrading.com/marketable-limit-order/

There are some 3rd party platforms that let you trade Cryptos and stocks such as Motivewave and MedvedTrader. For example, you can link a Binance account to these platforms and trade from there. Bitfinex is good as well

A marketable limit order means you get filled at the bid/ask +- an increment. For example, for a sell order with a 0.1 increment, it will hit Bid - 0.1. Meaning if the bid is 10.00. Your limit order will be 9.90

I use MARKETABLE LIMIT order. Let's say the bid/ask now is 10/10.01 and the stock is going down. I submit an order to sell but since there is a delay, I won't get 10. I will get a worse price since the price is going down and there is a delay in submitting my order

ok I see. Thanks a lot :)

ok so you mean it gives the illusion it is submitted instantly but its not?

I heard a doctor once saying that donating blood is good as the blood get cleaned out. Need to do some more research on it

it is because there is a delay in submitting the order that I get a worse price.

what do you mean UI?

I see, it is weird because if I submit the order in TWS it gets submitted instantly

No I send LIMIT orders

Are you using TWS or Gateway?

I got Min = 40ms. Max = 47ms and Avg. = 42ms

So maybe my laptop or my network connection? Also, what do you mean "from a server pretty close to their servers." Thanks for the reply :)

Hey, I am using a 3rd party software and once I send my order, I can see it transmitted in TWS. But once transmitted in TWS, it takes around 1 second to get submitted which causes getting filled at a worse price specially if the stock is volatile. Is it just me with this issue?

yes I just made the switch to DuckduckGo. Gonna try it out

Thanks for sharing, learned about DuckDuckGo from the comments. Might start using it instead of Google
