Is there a way to put in a sell limit order that doesn't expire on TDAmeritrade? Or anywhere for that matter

Just started investing and have 95% of my money with a broker but am playing around with some on my own just for the learning experience and am tired of having to put in the limit order daily

TIA

Yes. GTC (Good Till Canceled)

ETA: Technically they expire in 6 months I think.

FYI, get a "paper" account which is fake money to play around and learn. Works just like real thing.

While that isn't a bad idea to start with, it doesn't really work like the real thing. For one thing, people often behave very differently when real money is at stake.

I'm not near as big of a "newb" as I sound, I went to finance school and have my series 7 license

I just had a brain fart on the "GTC" acronym. I knew there was a way to do it just had never done it on an app like I was trying
