Hey!
Im papertrading with market orders on high volume stocks that i scanned so i can see where most traders are.
And on the level 2 i can see that the spread is lets say 0.05, but when i paper trade market orders the results are that when i buy and sell instantly the prices are either exactly the same, or just a very very low spread compared to what i can see on the level 2.
My question is, how come? Have i missed something? Is it just like this because it's paper trading account, or is it something I don't know about?
Heres a picture to show how it looks.
