UPDATED: Data Issues Affecting Portfolios, Contests, and Trading

Monday, October 20th, 2008

Well, we managed to fix the trades that were placed on bad quote data, but in the process, many users ended up with excess cash in their accounts.

Until we can fix this issue, we’re going to halt trading for only those users with the cash issues, so that they do not trade with it.

Obviously, having extra cash in a portfolio improves performace numbers, which is why you see members in contests and the site in general with much higher gains than usual.

Please e-mail me directly if you have any questions about his issue: joe@updown.com.
