I'be been trying to practice using onDemand with TOS and limit orders don't seem to fill at all. The price just goes right past the order and continues on as though it doesn't even exist. I want to practice trading when the bell rings on gappers as they break the premarket high. It's all about timing and doing it with real money scares the bejesus out of me lol. Anybody else have this issue?

On Paper Trading - I have had multiple chats with TDA support folks who have candidly told me that paper trade environment is not the prime support focus and they themselves are aware of a LOT of issues that novices such as myself will encounter. That said while paper trading allows you to be in a safe environment, its at best good to learn the nuts and bolts of the ToS platform - not at all great for finer aspects (e.g. knowing whether a trading strategy will work, etc.)
