That is really cool. Keep up the good work, maybe add an API so I can test stock picking programs against your data ;)
In the works; probably not free :(

#25I'm currently at the top of your leaderboard after issuing nothing but buy orders for about 5 minutes. I didn't even read the charts. This confirms my opinion that chart reading is nonsense.
Drat. I tried the same trick, and I'm down to my last $10,000.

...or we've stumbled on a really good investment strategy: 1. buy a random stock 2. hold for 20 days 3. profit! currently #2 on leaderboard before I got bored. I wonder what the capital gains impact would be... I suppose it's rather like investing in an index fund, with a bit more volatility :)
Often times mechanical trading strategies discussed in papers that use fancy math and algorithms don't consistently beat buy and hold.

#29I found another way to "cheat." Change the length of time to 40 days, and then click the buy button five or six times before the buy/sell/skip buttons change to the "new trade" button.

You'd assume that the average algo strategy does worse, if only because it's an average portfolio plus extra transaction costs.
