Vol is volume or volatility? I also bought on the second day of the recent drop, so it seemed I could buy at a low I didn't expect, and then sell as it increased. Will definitely be doing some more research...

Put a couple hundred bucks into think or swim - then use the paper money simulator which is amazing- and open up a trading view account for real time pricing which is free. Try things out along the way. No reason to keep burning money. Believe me I could show you statements that’ll make your eyes pop. Do it this way it’s a lot less painful and more
Lucrative

Perfect, I've been using the investopedia simulator but all quotes are delayed. Everything is real time on think or swim? So it will be exactly like trading normally?

Yeah that’s gotta stop ASAP - I have a real account but the sim quotes on paper money are 20 min delayed on the watchlist but then when I structure a position and go to execute it shows it to me in real time as well as on the position monitor.

General reccomendation..ask guys on the forum before "leaping",no pun intended...

AAPL upside vol has been ridiculously high...

I don't trade that far out,but maybe it's worth flying off..just keep in mind,if you wouldn't do it as an opening position,then just get out
