I was down at the end of yesterday, but some of my stocks rebounded. Others are taking a nosedive. I'm going to hold onto the flaming lala headed for the dirt at Mach 2 because I believe it's going to go up.

If it nosedives and you belive in it then sell and you should be able to pick it up again at an even lower price.

No were on the internet were you can see how much stock costs? just pick the one with the highest loss that trading day. Usually looks like this

-7.89% or a completly different number. Just scroll down the list until you find it.

If the game features "order depth" then your order prolly was too far back in the line to kick in at the price you wanted.

Now I'm really po'd...

Cancel the sell order cause I'd figure I'd wait it out. - game ended up selling it anyway. about 30 mins after i cancelled the order.

I was gonna stick to riding small waves on one stock and could've made about 3k today over the course of 4-5 trades...buy - ride a 2cent long - sell / sell short...buy to cover back when it dropped 2-5 cents...

If they would execute as the normally would...lol I'd be just fine...

Do you have to cover your magin by the close of trading in this game?

If so, a bunch of you have 4 minutes left

If not... I think I just screwed myself.

EDIT: Hang on. Seems that its still adjusting. I may have made a profit overall today...hmm

I've been waiting about 4 hours for 1 transaction...

I think it has to do with whether or not you put "Day Order" instead of "Good until Cancelled." Good until Cancelled will push it through ASAP. Day order will buy it at the end or beginning of the day.

As a measure of sheer desperation, I asked my sister for a couple of stock tips. Those stocks are up 650 bucks, while the two I'm hoping will raise (which did finish much higher today) are down on me for 300 bucks.

Ahh, I see now that I didn't select GUC, darn.

BlueJ1 · « **Reply #177 on:** June 14, 2006, 03:26:16 PM »

Cool. Seems that its settled out now. I made $300 dollars today. My first profit. I dumped all my origanal investmetns and found three that turned out to all make me money today.

a day order will cancell itself out at the end of the trade day. good till cancelled will stay valid until you cancel it - which could be 2 days or 2 months depending on the price you set.

I got hosed again - 15 mins before close I placed a straight buy order...

never went through...lol

I'm pretty sure the game tells you there's at least a 20 minute delay. Most of my orders have been going through in 20-25 minutes.

Also, big props to Tufnuts. He made 3,300 dollars in one day.
