Options demo trade

I just bought 1 contract of UVXY Sept 17 P 26.00 at the market for 2.12, and set a limit order to sell at 15% profit, intending to move it up once I placed the trade.

Seven seconds after placing the trade, it sold for 17.40! 

The chart looks normal, with nothing going on anywhere near 17.40.

Any ideas what caused that to happen?

I just tried it again, same result but it took about 30 seconds.

Now I'm up $3000 for the day!  :^)

You may want to contact TC2000 Brokerage's Customer Service via email or phone. Bruce (usually) refers these types of questions to them as they are two separate entities.

That said, I bet you wish those were real trades with real money! :)

Will do, thanks!

If I could do that with real money, I probably wouldn't sleep for a week! 6 1/2 hours a day making money, and the other 17 1/2 thinking about it!
