The gain/loss number is for the change for the day.  You have to look at price paid and current price.

You can buy stocks whenever.  If you place an order while the market is closed, it will execute when the market opens.

And yes you can make real world money doing this. I'm up about $7.5k since I started trading about 6 weeks ago.  But I mainly daytrade, and this game isn't very good at emulating that due to the execution delay.

Possible you could actually work.. doing this?

All you would need to do was get some starting funds.

Buy stocks that are on the rise, once a reasonable rise is achieved, sell.

Buy another stock that is on the rise, rinse repeat.

I suppose the problem is predicting which "phase" of growth a stock is in.

Also you'd always be tempted to see how far it would rise.

How fast can a stock rise or fall? Do you have any reaction time at all ?

I think it's $150 a month for a sub, plus you'd need an account with $4000 minimum.  And if you want to day trade you need $25,000 due to an SEC regulation.
