Stock Market Glitch

[magnificent_leo]

Has anyone noticed that if you buy 1000 stocks at exactly 12:00:01 then you can buy another 1000 stocks.

 

So you can buy 2000 stocks each day b)

I'm never on at 12.00.01 so I wouldn't really know or ever be able to take advantage but neat trick...

:laughingsmiley: I can try this. I am usually online at 12:00 am NST. :yes: I might, try it tomorrow. :O

[Luciana]

Seriously?? I'll have to try it tonight. Does TNT consider this exploiting a glitch?

[antiaircraft]

I believe they would actually consider this exploiting a glitch... still, it's intriguing. :yes:

 

Has anyone investigated the possibility that this could be a simple clock-desync rather than a glitch?

[livvy]

Huh... that's intriguing, but as RIG said, they'd probably consider it exploiting a glitch. (Or exploiting a clock-desync or something.) I don't see why though; I mean, it's not like cheating the stock market is illegal or anything. :P

 

Still. Fascinating discovery.

[Unstream]

Are you sure this actually works? I think what AA was trying to say is that maybe the clock was a bit fast, and you really bought 1000 stocks the day before.

 

But yes, it would be exploiting a glitch. If something doesn't work the way it should be and you take advantage of that, then it's exploiting a glitch.

I tried it. It did not work from here. how about the others?
