| Golly, I turn around to handle some other biz and when I come back here I find I've been liquidated, got no portfolio at all, wasted all that time? I'm dazed, stunned, not sure which way is up. Oh, it's a lot like real life. -Zer |

| Hey Zer, did you have only one stock long at the time? and was it a stock that changed trading symbols? |

Nothing of the sort. All my stuff is still trading just fine -- except at this site -- and all of my stuff is LONG (mine to sell). I don't do biz any other way. What I had was MSO, CEI, CMO, NTRZ and was thinking to add BIDU. But now I'm wondering what's going on here. Stuff disappears? Strange. -Zer |

We needed to purge the system for the new rules to level the playing field. Sorry for any confusion. So far this has really been a beta test for this trading software. It's really one of a kind to be integrated with a discussion forum and was pretty much developed from stratch in the past few months.
As to the future we hope never to have to have a full-blow reset again, but to continually track your picks for the longterm, and also track your monthly progress pit against the other members for the competition.
I know you've made some great leaps since you've been here Zer and were really close to the top honors last month (and I believe you are our senior member  ). Hopefully you don't mind starting again. We have a VERY tight race so far this month and it wouldn't be possible with things how they were before.
Thanks for sticking with us.  |

Please read this topic for full details. The summary version: we reset everyone to zero (and you got your eInvesting$ back for the holdings at their market close price from last month) and made some changes in what sort of trades were allowed.
More changes are in the works. |

Mr.TS, there is a flaw in the current system which could result in some seriously skewed numbers if it isn't updated with the other changes coming, when you open trading on a 30 minute delay like you are doing now, we actually miss the first 10 minutes of trading being that you are on a 20 minute delay during regular hours, alot of big moves on news are made during the first 10 minutes of trading, I have a stock in my port right now that was actually up 5% on the open yesterday, and then settled out down 3% below Thurs close 10 minutes into trading, so when the trade simulator gave me an opportunity to adjust I was offered a price closer to the low because of the 10 minute opening bell flaw in the system, I never did get a chance to take my 10% profit off my buy point on the open, it's no big deal since this is just a game, but it is something you might be able to improve upon to make the game more realistic, now if you were my broker I'd be pee a zissed!  |

Fixed. Thanks for pointing that out. In the future, please use the "bugs" topic linked in my signature to be sure that I find the comment. The original trading hours were for testing... I forgot to go back and add in the extra opening 30 minutes. You should be good to go on Monday.  |
