So, I've noticed a few glitches while paper trading. First, it wasn't letting me buy a few stocks, no biggie. Next, I lost half of my 10,000 jcp stocks. Great, kinda sucked. But today, after I closed a 50,000 msft call option trade friday, I see that all of those "option stocks" have moved into "real stocks", giving me a -1.5 mil available money, but, a 3 mil cash in if I sell those stocks....
WTF is going on? It's obviously Saturday so I can't make that trade yet, but do you think it'll work? I'm actually new to this, so is that actually what's supposed to happen (I don't think so as far as I know)? And if it is, that's way too easy to make money. What do I do about these glitches, and will I encounter them in real money TDAmeritrade trading? (And what is exercising? I don't understand it and it was suggested that that was it.)
Extra question: do you think I should hold on to these stocks or sell them?
