How long does it take to order stocks to sell and buy??


On accounts like Ameritrade, Trade king or E trade how long does the processing time take to buy and sell stocks? I have been virtual trading and theirs about at 20min lag. There inst one when your trading for real right? Or is their a small one?

thanks!

It is not a strange thing, in my experience, to click the order button, then click home and see that my trade has already placed. But if you place limit orders, instead of market, hey, I've waited days for mine to queue up when there are a bunch of limit orders in ahead of me. Then again, the problem with limit orders is if the scene marches away from your price, the opportunity was lost.
