Just a note on the 10k-50k qualifying trades. If you open and close a trade on one stock, then the program allows the second trade to use the entire balance on the account, not just 50k.

Personally I think this opening/closing trade business is a bit of a huge unnecessary complication. Presumably you are trying to ensure that portfolios that have not traded are not listed in the league tables and/or are not eligible for prizes. Much easier just to say in the rules that portfolios must have at least 20,000 traded in total on at least two stocks to qualify for prizes, and to omit those that haven't from the tables.

The quantity check on a buyback after a short appears to be wrong. Shorted the whole account value on a stock, which then went the wrong way, so bought back, but it seems to be comparing against the value of the account rather than allowing a buyback of the whole short position.

Kayak,

Thanks for highlighting that validation issue. It is now fixed.

I've tested the shorting issue you describe. You can not buy back more than the inital 100k you started with as this would leave you with a negative balance which is not allowed during play.

Karl.

? I mean I shorted 6,443 and wanted to buy them back. This is perfectly OK of course, it does not leave you with a negative balance, just less than 100k. In the event it would only let me buy back 6,410 so the remaining 33 had to be a second trade.

My entry is shown as valid but i do not appear on the league tables ?
i should be around 70ish
any ideas ?

adicoleman,

The tables don't update immediately, they do so every half hour, so you will appear after the next update on the tables,

Ian

Cheers !

Kayak,

"Buy Back" max volume rules have now been changed.

Karl

Thanks Karl

Ian,
If the tables of current prices are only updated half hourly why say fifteen minutes. I have been waiting for my prices to update since open ......SD

Seadog,

The prices in your account are delayed by 15 mins as stated - it is only the league tables which update at half hourly intervals

Ian

Ian ,
I note they have been updated now, thank you

Ian
still NOT updating every 15 min..........SD

Seadog,

Just so you know (you probably do so forgive me is that is the case) it is not a streaming screen, so you will need to refresh it to see any changes. I am looking at your account now to see if I can see it change - I will report back,

Ian

Seadog,

Seems to be fine here - just watched your account and saw movement on the 3rd stock you hold - upon refresh,

Ian

One of mine does not change every 15 minutes ,and i have been skipping between sites .Actually it doesn't matter so long as you know where you are at the end of each day.

jimmy,

I will take a look at your account to see if I can replicate this,

Ian

Sorry Ian i just refreshed and your right .

jimmy,

It would also appear that the MM's have not changed their quote on either of your positions since 9.07am and 9.14am respectively,

Ian

Ian,
Sorry, I did not know you had to refresh the screen to get the changes............SD
