I have no idea Baroness!
I’ve contacted Fetch and asked him to reset if possible.

Fourth place. Added evidence (if Goofee's isn't more than enough!) that overnight trading based on training logs is utterly unbeatable. It's within the rules of the game, but probably not within the spirit of the game ... and it gets a bit dull and repetitive.

That's enough of that and I'm reverting to trying to forecast gains from here on in.

(And Fetch, if you *are* minded to retard the scoring by 24 hours, then a Monday is probably the best day to leapfrog without doing too many traders out of gains; the pickings yesterday were pretty poor!)

Quite agree, Synge, although a lovely chap by the name of Wallman earned me a small haul yesterday!

In case anyone is wondering or remotely interested, my "problem" was being gifted 2352 coins on Sunday, catapulting me to the top of the leader board. I'm still trying to play fairly by making sure I keep at least 2352 coins in the bank, but it's involving a lot of maths! I'm hoping Fetch will take the gift back soon - I've asked him!

AtC, I reckon that after Fetch has retrieved the 2352, he should give you an honesty bonus/reward of 100/200 :-)

It's like Monopoly and the Community Chest card: "Bank error in your favour". (Never seems to happen in real life, though!)

But what is he going to do with the other 2000ish though? :-)

How To Play
As a trader, your job is to pick the runners that you think will increase in value.

You start with 1000 credits, and can use these to purchase shares in runners. If you think their mileage is about to drop, then it's time to sell.

Runner values are calculated based on the total volume of running mileage completed in the last 90 days. Values are recalculated as soon as a runner has logged a run.

Runners get a notification when you buy shares, but not when you sell them.

The value of a runner can go up or down, but don't threaten them. Have fun!
