Captain moo : Yoooo mooer, Great to see you here in moomoo community! Thanks for hitting us with your first post! Hope you enjoy the journey and make friends around. Have fun~

DayleyTrades : Due to the fluctuation it maybe be hit 30.5 before going down to 30.1

102793783 OP : Ah perhaps.. I saw the tickers just kept hovering around 30.1 and got a bit excited..

sharksfin : check ur transaction history and they will tell u ur average price for the fill

GudThingTkTime : maybe your buy type is 'mkt'.
if u wan buy/sell at exact price, next time try using "Limit" as type

102793783 OP : Confirmed from History transaction was 30.5. Used a different platform before it would buy for me lower if I set higher buy price.. next time need to triple check what I set

102793783 OP GudThingTkTime : Nop. My default is Limit. If Mkt it will show as Mkt in History

GudThingTkTime : ohhh sorry. misread your comment.
Ya, cuz you set it to buy at limit 30.5.
so it won't buy until the price hits 30.5
cuz during that time, there are traders who are "asking" for 30.5 price. just nice got someone which is you, wiling to buy at 30.5 when price is 30.1

not the apps fault.
you key it in yourself.
it's okay, take it as a tuition fees.
every beginner trader learns it by losing some money. like myself.
I when to bought $Exela Technologies (XELA.US)$  whe it is at its peak.
I'm still paying for that mistake.

holding on to wait for miracles to happen
cheers

Necrosin GudThingTkTime : bro dun give fake info. this is true only if he set "stop" for buy. Limit means buy any under this amount.
What likely happened is due to high volatility of the stock, the sell orders below 30.5 ran out and he was forced to fill at 30.5
