Question about using quick buttons

[nepenthean]

Hello. I did not know where to post this question, so I decided this is as a good as any sub-category.

I understand the buying/selling using the quick buttons (ex. buy at ask, sell bid) are limit orders. If I buy 1 lot at ask and there is at least 1 lot being offered, will I get filled immediately since that 1 lot is being offered for sale?

Also, if I sell at bid, will I get filled immediately since folks are looking to buy at that price?

Buying at market means taking lots from the offer volume until my order is satisfied?

Thanks for a great product!!

nepenthean,

Its possible as long as you are in the front of the line.

Also, if I sell at bid, will I get filled immediately since folks are looking to buy at that price?

If you are selling at the bid, you will most likely get filled very quickly but not necessarily immediately.

Buying at market means taking lots from the offer volume until my order is satisfied?

A market order is an order to buy or sell a stock at the best available price. Generally, this type of order will be executed immediately. However, the price at which a market order will be executed is not guaranteed.

Please let me know if I may assist further.
