April 2007 Trading Simulator contest - First Prize $100.00

[Thierry Martin]

I have set up another trading simulator for April - 1st prize is $100, 2nd and 3rd prizes are trading books.

Once you join, you won't have to rejoin every month like before, I'll just reset the contest at the end of every month back to the $100,000 for everyone.

If you already played in previous competitions, you already have an account and your can join the February contest with the same username and password by going here. If you have forgotton the game password, which you need to join the February contest, just email me and I will send it to you.

If you are new to the simulator, you can join at anytime up. This thread will be used to discuss the game and post updates on the standings.

You start with $100,000 and you can trade stocks long or short. Whoever has the highest amount at the close of trading on April 30, 2007 wins.

The trading simulator/contest is open only to registered members of this forum. (Registering is free!)

Send me a private message and I will send you the link and password for your free sign up.

I guess the sim doesn't know how to calculate stock splits...

Wait, I don't see a split for NKE anywhere...how come it's showing up in the sim?

[Albert0373]

Well, I just found out a glitch to the game.

We could all just short a stock before its scheduled to have a split and reap massive gains!!....not.

The same thing happen to me a few month back only I wasnt short and JDSU had a reverse split. Thierry can fix it, lol.

hey sorry about that guys i was thinking the game would split then buy and no harm done to it. Sorry if its bad that I abused the game.

[Albert0373]

Oh don't worry guys, I'm not blaming you at all.

Like they always say...don't hate the player, hate the game

if many people start doing it, like i accidentally did; then the game will be ruined :Z
