I'm in the exact same boat, I've always wanted to try it but never wanted to risk my own cash trying to figure out how everything works.... Hopefully I'll get a good idea of it with this game.....

Any tips for the complete n00bs CobraJack ???

I am unsure how well i'll do with just 1 month if trading. I'll be focusing on only tech stocks. primarily computer hardware.

[Aron]

I signed up, looked around a little bit this morning... I have no clue :-o

Get your Trade On...

You sure did! You buy enough shares lol everyone else has max 5k Jack throws out like 40k a share. Hmmm......:cool2: He knows something we dont....

 

[forbanger]

I just checked it.....lol!!!! The people who haven't gotten any trades are winning.

 

[Wiked03]

Ok I'm obviously clueless..

I tried buying a stock yesterday and got HOSED on the price.

I submitted an order for CARV when the going price was ~5.80 and it charged me 7.00!!!! wtf? did I do wrong? Instead of being up 13% I am down

then for FNM I tried buying too close to the end of the day I guess, so I missed the 1.3x price and got hit with the 1.58 price at open

whats with the 20 minute delay? is that how it works in real life?

 

[jaykruger]

Yeah the delay is messing with how I want to do the trades, I want my instant Scottrade satisfaction!

you should have set a limit order at 1.3x

in real life orders are place almost instantly.

That order should have never been filled. You bought 3,000 shares, when less than 1,000 were actually traded that day.

if you want I can reset you.
