I cannot figure out why my trades are not being executed. I put a limit order on a stock for $1.19,to buy, good till end of day. The stock closed at end of day at $1.17 and the order did not execute and expired. Can anyone explain why these orders are not being executed???? This has happened numerous times and is costing me serious money!

Relax, it's just Play Money. The only way to make this thing work is to charge a membership fee. Then you might get real time trades and decent software to work with. Probably would be a good idea to have a free one and then one that does require a membership fee for the Hard Core Stock Junkies.

The only problem with that is when it happens they will more than likely make the free one so inefficent that you will get really irritated and UPGRADE>>>>>>>>>HAHAHAHAHA

1.19 good till the end of day means that it has to be 1.19 at the end of the day, change it to good till cancel.

all of mine have to be that way since i'm at work all day and don't have access to a comp.

GOOD LUCK

thanks for the responses. I have been trading this way and it has worked. 1.19 good till end of day means that if it goes 1.19 or lower that should trigger the buy and execute right? This doesnt seem to be the case on this stock though.

me too! hd has gone up to 30 twice and neither time sold.

With the 15 min delay you may not get the price you asked for, which does suck cause it makes getting the stock at the price you want tough. I have placed Market orders watching my streaming quotes program and ended up getting a different price by the time it finallized here.

What was the volume and how many shares was the order for. If the volume wasn't high enough to comply with the game's rules then the trade won't go through.

i think the best bet would be set it up till cancel.

sorry i cant be more help.

Don't know 

Thats a good question. I dont know, ask around a bit more!   good luck 

Limit orders have always been a point of contention with WSS because they plainly just don't work.  I think it is the one thing that WSS needs to concentrate on making it work. 

However, I contacted WSS some time ago about this problem and they told me that if you want a stock to sell at a lower price than what it already is, you have to use a "stop" order.  The "limit" order is for when your want to sell at a price higher than the current price.  I honestly never tested it out because most days I am at my computer during trading hours and have decided just to keep my eye on my stocks and not use limit or stop orders.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice.  I have been having the same problems.

Thanks for the replies. I believe I had everything in order. The volume was over a million and i was buying 20,500 shares. The computer never kicked it back saying it was an invalid trade, it just never executed it.

 A BUY LIMIT I WHEN YOU WANT TO BUY A PICK  AT THAT PRICE OR  BETTER   BETTER    NOT LESS LESS  IF YOUR PICK WENT TO 1.22  it  WOULD EXCUTE AT THAT  PRICE,  NOT LESS

still waiting for wss to adjust my account
