I can get to it…typical bs pricing of stocks again today though…I am curious how I managed to load up on WB the other day at a price that THE STOCK WAS NEVER AT THAT DAY. Somehow I bought it at the previous days close, the next day it opened at least .25 lower and never went up, only down…Thought I may have found a glitch in the game but found out this morning thats not how it works…Saw a stock that was down about $9 in premarket trading so I thought lets short this and see what happens, sure enough I bought it somewhere around where it was actually trading instead of the previous days closing price… WB is making a comeback, thank god there are still 2434234 days left in this game

FSLR
8856.00
Limit at $213.56
Pending = WTF???
I should be sitting @ $1,074,716.20 in all ca$h but the site will not fill a simple order…I have watched this stock bounce off of a $213.17 low today and well below my limit twice already today.
The order still has not been filled 45 minutes after it should have been…y’all can have it…
ok, I can access it ok now.
anyone else played another stock game? just wondering if there were a more user-friendly platform. looks like everyone is having the same problems with orders so at least it is across the board.
Fritz keeps fighting me for the bottom rung…at least we had no LTRE positions like shamrock. stock is down 10% and he got crushed…earnings maybe?

you don’t seem to have had too many that cost you $75,000 in profit though…there is a difference…

That being said, limit orders seem to work well enough for me. I’m not looking for minute-by-minute fluctuations though.

I’m a sprinter, ha. I’ll probably be last again tomorrow. Just happened to make a couple good moves today.
…it’d be really sweet if this was real money though, I could use a cool 40k right now
Well if it makes you feel better, I got a nice kick in the nuts today myself. I was in the #1 spot on the list touting a 8.5% overall return and I put in an limit order to cover that should have been filled (since I watched the price in fidelity). It never got filled and now my gains are eroded. I went from a 5.7% gain on the day to a -2.55%.
ouch skinneej…i am still learning how to manipulate the limit orders.

Still yet to figure out why mine never filled to cover FSLR on Tuesday…I saw you jump to the moon this morning and wondered why you did not cover it then.
Your order placed @ 10:58 when FSLR was $202.86.
By the time the VSE rocket science website got the 20 minute delay the stock was $205.01 and never looked back for your $202.95 limit…never had a chance to fill it.
Yeah, not sure how to play the delay yet. In “real life” I just keep moving my limit with a “Cancel and replace” until it goes through.
I have a stock i cannot sell. I TRIED TO SELL IT YESTERDAY AM AND IT HASN’T GONE THROUGH YET. Has anyone had this problem or any ideas ?
What stock is it? I just looked at your orders and there is nothing showing as an order pending.
