TAMAY,

We had problems on the main site this morning which would have affected the agem - I will get the tech guys to take a look to see if there are any residual problems,

Ian

I cannot seem to do a trade, i enter the minimum volume required and
it comes up "chosen volume does not meet minmum requirements" ?

And now it works :-))..wish it did that when i tried to buy Oxb at 28p.

mackem,

this was due to the outage we had on the main site earlier - please accept my apologies,

Ian

No worries, i'm already enjoying the excitment this is creating,
it's ok when it's not real money, take more risks.

i have dealt out of hours,but deal is still not done

gorwell22,

We are taking a look into this problem.

Ian

up and working now,or should i say ' down'

.

how come im doing the opposite in the comp to my real trading but still losing? LOL.

a free hedge bet i thought. the snag is that real trades would affect the price i suppose.

ah well back to the lottery.......great fun though

I had the same problem with dealing out of hours. However, I was able to cancel them and repeat the actions. Great competition and the analyses are excellent. Interesting how the bears are winning although not surprising given the market. haven't shorted a share in my life so perhaps this is the chance to do so!

Eric

Is there a prize for the peep who loses the lot first?

I'm not sure that its actually possible to lose the lot! For instance, its very difficult to spend it all as there is normally a few p left in your account. -:)

I was wondering that MaxK im doing pretty well at the moment ,lets see who can get under a tenner!!!..JB..

jimmy B: bet you a tenner you can't do it! Eric

Well Eric,, i was doing well on the first day (ranked 5th) which stands for nothing as i was probably the 5th person to join,,but due to watching other real stocks i neglected the game ,,silly really as there is bigger money to be had here than on the bloody real market..Opened my CFD account this week,,,Cheers .JB.

I take it that ones account details do not update on a real time basis? My bid / offer prices on stocks purchased do not reflect real time data.

PTH

PTH - Correct. Account prices are updated at thirty-minute intervals (I think), although prices are live when you place an order or ask for a quote.

I haven't been able to successfully activate a sell at all after 15 minutes of pressing - Nothing!!! This contended system, which will allow a fixed number of game players to see a live price at any given time must be a low value or a lot of people are trying to trade at the same time - is there any plans to resolve this?

EDIT:
OK, discovered that the [Sell] [Buy] link don't work but now found another way to get to the sell screen.


On another note, I did manage to get to the sell screen at one time but the figure I entered where number of shares rather than value and therefore it was rejected or what that the other way round, anyway, it was rejected but it still took the 10 commission and I now have a cash balance of -9.73 which is negative.

jimmy B: bet you a tenner you can't do it! Eric

I'd take that bet back Eric! All you have to do is keep on selling one share at a time and it will cost you 10 a time. Keep on doing it'll reduce your holding to less than zero.
