Beat The Broker Compo!

Would this bug potentially work on the live platform too?

Nah, it won't work at all having looked at it a bit more. Was just taking advantage of floating point, infinite numbers, and all that jazz, but they're serialized before being sent server side.

They've stuffed it up and are using our real names and not nicks

I've smoked a few k, some peeps are on minus figures, options are you on -6k already mate

mick mcmanus hasn't traded yet & still has 20k

 

[trader_dante]

Well, Mic Mills is 149th and by the looks of things he is going to have his work cut out for him...

 

[arabianights]

All but £16 tied up in margin on random trades, that's the way to do it

 

[trader_dante]

I'm taking the conservative route...still got £8,250 available if needed

Here's a tip: if you are going to try and win, don't rely on the bund moving more than a tick per hour

 

[arabianights]

I'm relying on GBP/YEN mostly. I think I'm long.

How did you get over £100 pp long? Two seperate positions?

 

[arabianights]

Yep. You have to close it with two seperate orders as well, but hey!

Is anyone else getting a server error when they try and click on the League Table?
