    the vast majority of trades i made today had a gain, and one went up enough to cover most of my losses... But i lost money?

    i confirm a sale price that should be a profit, just wondering if there are some rules i don't understand...

    The prices shown are the delayed quotes, however, when you execute a trade it is executed in real-time, so you do not actually know the price of the stock unless you have real-time quotes.  MSN gives real time quotes for free, just go to www.msn.com and click on money.  You will have to sign up for a free e-mail account with them but it was worth it to me to get free real-time quotes.  Good Luck!
