Hello my name is Gabe and I recently started investing. I am using the robinhood app to start out my first couple trades. I was wondering how it is possible that when I looked at the graph for today (my first day) I bought 12 shares @ $7.63 per share. Now when I go back and look at the graph from today and I look when it was trading at $7.71 I was only up $0.01. As well as when it was trading at $7.64 a share it was down $0.06?
That doesn't make sense. If you bought 12 shares using robinhood with zero commissions, you should have been up 12*.08 which is $0.96. Can you possibly take a screenshot and post it here so someone can see what you're saying? Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
If you did a market order you could've gotten a bad fill - you don't get the best fills on illiquid stocks with Robinhood.
True, you need to look at your fill price, not what price you think you pushed the button to execute the trade. I was operating under the assumption that you knew what your fill price was.
