There is a 20 minute delay on trades. Also, in previous games people have attempted to work the system with the delay but it does not seem to work as the actual purchase time is somewhat random (and therefore the market price).
From a different board:
"OK, I will also come clean. I tried to game the wacky VSE interface, using my real time ticker vs. their delayed figures to recognize a nice gap in Chipotle, which I promtly shorted the hell out of, with a cover buy at the lower current and accurate price. The VSE seems to execute trades whenever it damn well pleases though, and I got my virtual day trading ass handed to me when it did so at a much higher price. Cheaters never prosper, evidently I'll behave from now on."
Prescient is in the lead with his 32,000 shares of Richmont Mines!
