Question for you stock savvy folk...

Say I put in a limit order to buy a stock at say, $5.00.....Is there any way I can go ahead and put in something that will sell that same stock at $5.10 if, and only if the initial $5.00 order goes through??

Or do I have to wait until it actually buys the $5.00 then after that, put in an order to sell at $5.10?

On the trading screen you have the option of making your order a "Day Only" order which expires at the end of that trading day or "Good Till Cancelled" which will continue in effect until it's filled or you cancel it.

The default option on our game is Good Till Cancelled. But you can change each order buy clicking on the Day Only button.

I don't know how the game handles that situation. You could enter a small order doing what you said and see how the game handles it. (And let us know, of course. )

Unfortunately, I followed Russian on RUSS, but I didn't sell before the bell yesterday and lost my arse on that this morning.
Never, ever let the sun go down holding RUSS. Just a suggestion.....

Early on in this thread two posters wanted everyone the know for disclosure reasons that they are "in the industry" which gives them an advantage in this game.

But I don't see either of them listed in the rankings...at all. I guess they decided not to participate which is a shame. I would like to have seen what their research is telling them. (Unless their research is telling them the market is about to crash so buy anything. )

Good luck Rebel.

I've been in a meeting for the last two hours. Dammit, why does work get in the way.

Time to churn up a few 100k.

Well here are a couple long term holds I know will be on the upswing around March/April


WY and PLC

PLC is largest private landowner in USA and WY is about to do some expansion in the south.

Timber pricing is going to swing up or stabilize by summer.

I got small gains today, but I'm not playing the game like some of you guys. I am happy with making 4500 today.

From last place after day one to #2. Good day. This will be the only time in my life that I look down the standings at Russian.
