A real gamble would be to put it all into Steinhoff in the hope it can resurrect itself somehow.  If it manages even a little bit, you're golden.

I had a look at the leaderboard and have a question of Patrick - the best performer on the board when I looked was Ashburton Inflation ETF (ASHINF) however these units were purchased at 8:23:52 on 2018 - 01 - 02. The market doesn't open to the public until 9:00:00 and only the auction is open and that is exclusively to brokers and opens 10 minutes before public opening. So how was it possible that the holdings were acquired prior to even the auction period, and, further, what price was inserted against the purchase of these units - was it close of business 2017 - 12 -31, or was it based on some or other factor
Please clarify >:D
Thanks

It's easy, my cron job for adjusting pending orders into actual orders doesn't kick in until 9am, that's the price they should have been given :)

Still don't follow the logic, also given that you use 1/2 hour delayed prices - so should have showed as booked 09:00:01
Are you a robot :LHST:

I can explain it in robot :)


Highly dodgy code was here  :wtf:



 :D :D :D

Basically after 9:30 update any orders made since 5pm last night with live prices. This fixes overnight orders and also updates daytime orders with actual live pricing, so nobody can cheat using their actual brokerage account. Sadly I didn't have the date updating, there's always a bug somewhere! I'm sure all the php experts are going to chime in and tell me how I'm using old SQL and that my code looks like a dogs breakfast, but hey, it gets the job done!
