I just have a tiny amount in the account so it's no big deal if I get ripped off. I thought it was worth a shot.

Just aggravating when you buy $100 worth of something at 8:35 this morning & it goes up 20%+ after you submit your buy but the buy still hasn't gone through.

I only do limit buys on Robinhood, even if my limit is the same as the current market price.

I haven't had any issues with lag in purchases, but I did notice that the "market" prices aren't always up-to-date (so I put in my buy at the price listed on a real-time source, not what Robinhood is showing as Market).

theres a lag time on robinhood in the morning. you cant actually buy anything until about 8:40-8:45 (CST). After that, orders go through instantly.

I don't know why this happens, but it does.

Exact same everything for me, word for word.

I like playing around with this app. I'm doing pretty well so far. After 9 days I'm averaging a 2.4% gain per day just by trying to time the market like someone else mentioned.
