Well it's probably a joke.

We've been running on the honor system. If you make a buy at 3:30 and the market collapses then one would not expect you to reverse it to a Sell within the window just to save your place in the contest.

Not that everything else we do does not somewhat fly in the face of real life, but that would be a complete waste of time. The contest in all in fun.

Anyway, it's unlikely that scheme would work very often. The volatile swings probably will snap the head off someone trying to go back and forth that way.

No .. wasn't joking ..

I've worked out an arrangement with a couple of folks that will give them a lead time notice before I place my game trades.

I don't expect any slack on the rules about my posts .. it just might seem that I've gotten a little behind in my timing.

I have my software set to post my trades the same that I'd sent out five minuets earlier to these folks.
