Positive, aren't we MrD?   ;)

Is there a list of all available shares or do you have search one by one?

Damn, should have practised before.

It's top 100 by market cap and most ETF's - no list that I can see. Also no leader board...maybe they need to outsource it to Patrick® PTY Ltd ?

 ;)

I tried to register today, but they're closed for the day it seems. I'm going to try jaDEB one share at a time trading. I figure it'll either do really well, or I'll lose the shirt off my back.

Doesn't say much for their robust checking of their system at all, hopefully this glitch doesn't happen in their real life system.
Without being too critical this competition has been run over a few years - surely they could have sorted these glitches out in their beta testing - must be a bit of a jolt to their reputation
So we start all over again with the market having increased quite a bit this last week and a shortened period to end date of competition - hardly a competition for an investor but more so for a trader

Were you using the high auction prices  8)

They should have just kept the prices pending the next day's trading...

Oh, the wretched!

I was on the straight and narrow and had a sell order that was ‘good till day end’ but it triggered at 12:00 auction (which I wasn't aware of by the way, O:-) only knew about morning/afternoon auctions). 

So I was thinking ‘glitch’.   Logged out, logged back in, profit was still there.

Happy days – short lived.

I contacted them, seems they didn’t know about the midday auction glitch, should have just shut it. >:D

So my question is this:

Who is allowed to trade in auctions, is it fund managers and institutions?
 
Next questions: 


If yes, then how is it possible for them to not make extraordinary amounts of profit year after year?

Why are they so mediocre then at best with this obvious benefit?
