The Investor Challenge / Ex-dividend date bug or luck?

« on: July 15, 2014, 01:27:09 pm »

Hi Patrick,

I bought 1918 LEWIS shares at R66.95 before the LDT (2014-07-11) and sold the shares at 08:42:05 on the Ex-div date (2014-07-14). What I expected was that the share should have immediately dropped to a lower value on the Ex-div date which was suppose to be near the R64.00 value... not sure... But it went through as R66.90. This means that I got the dividend while selling my shares at a higher price than the market.

I think this happens due to the 15 minute delays? Maybe you should add something that ensures that shares can't be sold for the previous value? especially when it is that share's ex-dividend date?

Not sure how this happened.

The Investor Challenge / Shares Daily Volume

« on: July 14, 2014, 03:06:17 pm »

Okay, so I'm on top for the normal leaderboard and dividends leaderboard.... for now... BUT, I just want to know something:

Is it possible to limit trade Volumes in-game to the current Volume traded for specific shares on that day? Or maybe limit it to the 30 Day Average Volume? Some of my trades have fallen within the daily volumes but I think some of them haven't... It would make things better? What conditions must be met for the shares to be listed in this game?

Hi Patrick,

I bought 25858 MIX shares on 2014-06-05 for 4.30 and sold them today for 4.39.

My holdings are:

Total dividends received: R1,944.80
Cash on hand (including dividends): R4.15 (0% of portfolio)
Total fees paid: R40,876.68
Net profit on share sales: R158,169.66

What just happened? I did not receive cash in hand? I did not sell at a loss.

I've just been cheated out of R113,396.62 ?

I'm not way at the bottom of the leaderboard which should not be the case.
