I think I figured out what happened with my missed trade. It has to do with the 20 minute delay.
I was watching Ford on my real time display. It started downward earlier today. I put a buy order in at a price I expected it to hit, $9.13. The price quickly, like in 10 minutes, hit $9.12 and then reversed to an upward trend. By the time 20 minutes had passed the price was again above my $9.13 buy price.
I don't see this as a malfunction but I am raising the issue to make others aware of this item. If this was real money I would be upset but it is only a game.

Ty - I could drop the Delay, but as I said the system strongly recommends that for the most accurate results possible to leave the delay @ 20 mins. There was another setting that disallowed quick trading for a default of 15mins, but I disabled it to try and compensate for the 20 min market delay.
One of the big issues with the other platform was all the seriously inaccurate information, including all the missing dividends, screwed up splits, etc.

..........
I find that my orders are filled at the price very close to the price at the time I placed the order. If I want to exit a long position and the game won't let me because of the time delay, I just place a short order. When the game catches up I just liquidate one or both positions.

Ok I am waaaay late in posting this tid bit of Info. DIsGal had a split in her account for CME. Now the new system did Finally get it right, but after 4 days and Contacting Investopedia and letting them know it didn't "click".
A bit of a Pain, but at least they responded and fixed the problem.

That is weird. Earlier I had No issues getting in, now I have the same Issue as You are Ty. I have no clue what is going on, probably something with their site. However I couldn't report it to them if I wanted due to the fact I can't sign in...

I just checked and I got in just fine. I have my homepage bookmarked and have it set to log me in automatically so that might make a difference. Have you tried clearing your cookies?

I had a old e-mail from them, so I e-mailed them with the problem. I also cleared my cookies and that was when I had the problem. But I wouldn't think that would make the problem, most sites put them back in anyway.
