Patrick, the solution is easy. You have the buy, and may or may not have sold them. Since it isn't real, do a non-real trade here. Issue a sell-here-if-I-own-them trade. That way you have a matched transaction. You bought them, and you either sold them earlier, or you sell them now. David can rule whether you closed the transaction earlier, or you closed them now. Either way, the transaction would be closed and you can start trading again from a zero position. Then the only function of David's ruling will be to determine a dollar amount for the profit.

Yup, a quandary

I'd trade it as active and wash it out later if David allows the lost trade. But your an honest trader and the "waitlessness" must bother you. You made the trade?

Ask Tom...he's the other originator of the contest.
