Are the results updated in real time?

[Anonymous]

I wonder if the results here are updated in real time as the market moves?

When I log in at certain times at this page, and look at Rank, Player, Total Worth, one moment some player's Total Worth could be £5,000,000.00 or so, the next moment his Rank plunges to somewhere at the bottom! :cheesy:

The results are updated every minute - but they're delayed 20 mins remember.

Equities only ?

Is the competition strictly limited to UK equities ?

Trading warrants last week in the competition, trades were accepted but the prices froze and do not match live market prices ?

Yes, UK equities are the only instruments officially supported - anything else is likely to cause problems, so best avoided.

Total Worth: £95,283.01
Cash Total: £50,000.00
Portfolio Value: £45,283.01
Overall Profit/Loss: £45,283.01

Stock Name: IDN TELECOM
Position: buy
Bid 2.4 Ask 2.6
Quantity: 1886792
They Paid: 0
Date: 20 Jul, 8:01 am
Profit: £45,283.01

The most amazing part is

They Paid: 0

Anonymous,

Thanks for the heads-up. There was a problem with the price feed which we are now in the process of fixing.

Cheers
